  • The world is full of people who have lost faith: politicians who have lost faith in politics, social workers who have lost faith in social work, schoolteachers who have lost faith in teaching and, for all I know, policemen who have lost faith in policing and poets who have lost faith in poetry.

It holds them to their work, because the thorns curve backward, and one cannot pull away.

It thrives today in an age when its core components of freedom and opportunity are open to more Americans than ever before.

And it would be better to help them by taking the money from that minivan-driving social worker and giving it directly to the guy who is really working hard by washing dishes.
