The Burning Alchemist

Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

Your parents should have kept the bathwater.

What's the point of havin' a rapier wit if I can't use it to stab people?

For to acknowledge something learned or received is to reflect it within oneself... & the reflection multiplies its value.

Face them and trust in the power of infinite intelligence.
For all your demands will be met.

the moon, not in the pond.
