Women

Women never see, whether for good or bad, more than one side of any question; and that is, always, the one which first presents itself to them. —Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist

Fatal Sequence

The ancient systole and diastole of history has repeated itself in country after country:
Bondage to Spiritual Faith;
Spiritual Faith to Courage;
Courage to Freedom;
Freedom to Abundance;
Abundance to Selfishness;
Selfishness to Complacency;
Complacency to Apathy;
Apathy to Fear;
Fear to Dependency;
Dependency to Bondage.
—Henning Webb Prentis, Jr., President of the Armstrong Cork Company.
