And who is any of us, that without starvation he can go through the kingdoms of starvation?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do not know that any writer has supposed that on this earth man will ultimately be able to live without food.
For there is no one so great or mighty that he can avoid the misery that will rise up against him when he resists and strives against God.
The real scientist is ready to bear privation and, if need be, starvation rather than let anyone dictate to him which direction his work must take.
The king must die so that the country can live.
Death by starvation is slow.
Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals.
No one can ever enter the celestial kingdom unless he is strictly honest.
The only safe ruler is he who has learned to obey willingly.
He conquers who endures.
Who wants a world in which the guarantee that we shall not die of starvation entails the risk of dying of boredom?
