A blow with a word strikes deeper
than a blow with a sword.
—Robert Burton
Reflection
Sarcasm and putdowns are the prerogatives of the
coward, afraid of self-examination, lest he be found
wanting. No one wants or needs to be judged by his
inferiors.
Affirmation
May all my words today be in praise of that which is
good in myself, the human family, the earth...
