On Miscellaneous Subjects of Note
Money is a tool, not a goal. It is a particularly general and powerful
tool, but still only a tool. It is also almost unique in that it can
be traded for time.
Knowledge is power, and always will be. Force is useless without
knowledge of where and how to apply it.
Death may be many things, but for some, it is certainly a final peace
and reward.
If god is omnipotent and omniscient, then how can anything which exists
be considered an affront to god? If it was not desired by god, it
would not exist.
Everything is only order and chaos. The patterns of order in the sea
of chaos are what matter. Recognize the patterns, and you will never be
surprised. Control the patterns, and you will never be in need.
Emotions are advisors to, not rulers of, will. They are to be
ignored when necessary or convenient.
