“Don’t aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one’s personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run—in the long-run, I say!—success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it”

― Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning

“The thing is,” Meese said, “you don’t have many suspects who are innocent of a crime. That’s contradictory. If a person is innocent of a crime, then he is not a suspect.”

-Ed Meese, White House counsel to President Ronald Reagan, and US Attorney General

To all those that think the current blight of  “guilty until proven innocent” is an invention of the campus activist and alt-left organizers.

Update (05.02.2019) This post is “re-dedicated” to those old-guard Republicans that defend the current president in light of his legal troubles. Karma’s a real bitch, aint it?

Did Jesus turn the water into wine or did he convince the servers of the famous wedding banquet that they had the ability to do these (and greater) things?  Did Peter sink in the water due to his lack of faith in Christ Himself or in his lack of faith in what Christ was telling him to be true (that he could walk on water)? Does the difference matter?
