enjoy the trip and reach my destination in one piece.

Not you alone, Rizal. O souls
And spirits of the martyred brave, arise!
Arise and scour the land! Shed once again
Your willing blood! Infuse the vibrant red
Into our thin anemic veins; until
We pick up your Promethean tools and, strong,
Out of the depthless matrix of your faith
In us, and on the silent cliffs of freedom,
We carve for all time your marmoreal dream!
Until our people, seeing, are become
like the Molave, firm, resilient, staunch,
Rising on the hillside, unafraid,
Strong in its own fiber, yes, like the Molave!

Ho-ti trembled every joint while he grasped the abominable
thing, wavering whether he should not put his son to death
for an unnatural young monster, when the crackling
scorching his fingers, as it had done his son's, and
applying the same remedy to them, he in his turn tasted
some of its flavor, which, make what sour mouths he would
pretence, proved not altogether displeasing to him. In
conclusion (for the manuscript here is a little tedious)
both father and son fairly sat down to the mess, and never
left off till they had dispatched all that remained of the
litter.

Ina sense we have come to our nation's capital to a cash
check. When the architects of our republic wrote the
magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration
of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to
which every American was to fall heir. This note was a
promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men,
would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today
that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar
as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring
this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people
a bad check, a check has come back marked "insufficient
funds."

Sun Tzu said: There are five ways of attacking with fire.
The first is to burn soldiers in their camp: the second is
to bum stores; the third is to bum baggage trains; the
fourth is to burn arsenals and magazines; the fifth is to
hurt dropping fire amongst the enemy.
In order to carry out an attack, we must have means
available. The material for raising fire should always be
kept in readiness. There is a proper season for making
attacks with fire, and special days for starting a
conflagration.
The proper season is when the weather is very dry, the
special
days
are
those
when
the
moon
is
in
the
constellations of Sieve, the Wall, the Wing or the Crossbar, for these four are all days of rising wind.

Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take
for granted, but to weigh and consider. Some books are to
be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be
chewed and digested; That is, some books are to be read,
only in parts; others to be read but not curiously, and
some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and
attention. Some books also may be read by deputy, and
extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in
the less important arguments and meaner sort of books; else
distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy
things. Reading maketh a full man, Conference a ready man;
and Writing an exact man; and therefore, if a man writes
little he need to have a great memory; if he confers little
he need have a present wit; and if he reads little he need
have much cunning, to seem to know that he doth not.
