The fact that mankind persists shows that the cohesive force is greater than the disruptive force, centripetal force greater than centrifugal.

For a bowl of water give a goodly meal; For a kindly greeting bow thou down with zeal; For a simple penny pay thou back with gold; If thy life be rescued, life do not withhold.
