Actions have consequences.

One big reason is better than many little reasons.

A stable movement requries a healthy, reciprocal I.O.U. flow among its participants. Don't keep a careful tally.

In politics, you have your word and your friends; go back on either and you're dead.

Keep a secure home base.

Never miss a political meeting if you think there's the slightest chance you'll wish you'd been there.

The winner in a political contest is determined by the number and the effectiveness of the activists on the respective sides.
