We all have enough strength to bear the troubles of other people.  -La Rochefocauld

 

Call someone an isolationist or an anti-war activist, call it a sin tax or a progressive tax, call it an incentive or an effort to "fight" the thing incentivized.  Either way, the wise man knows words don't change how a thing works by even one little bit.

 

"Philosophy triumphs easily over past and future ills; but present ills triumph over it."  -La Rochefocauld
