Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness.

The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific and religious freedom have always been nonconformists.

Without denying the value of scientific endeavor, there is a striking absurdity in committing billions to reach the moon where no people live, while only a fraction of that amount is appropriated to service the densely populated slums.
