Is there any possibility of getting the super Welfare State's honey and avoiding the sting?

Ambition! We must be careful what we mean by it. If it means the desire to get ahead of other people - which is what I think it does mean - then it is bad. If it means simply wanting to do a thing well, then it is good.

Many people think their prayers are never answered because it is the answered ones they forget.

Poetry too is a little incarnation, giving body to what had been before invisible and inaudible.
