The strength or weakness of a society

depends more on the level of its spiritual

life than on its level of industrialization.

Neither a market economy nor even general abundance

constitutes the crowning achievement of human life.

If a nation's spiritual energies have been exhausted,

it will not be saved from collapse by the most perfect

government structure or by any industrial development.

A tree with a rotten core cannot stand.

Aleksander Solzhenitsyn

The delusion that you can paper-over losses for ever is childish. “I always lose a fortune gambling. Good thing I have a high limit on my credit card so that I’m not exposed to the losses.”

Even if it’s someone else’s credit card, sooner or later they’re going to come after you. And they’re not going to be happy.
