-People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.\\
+People who think with their epidermis or their genitalia or their clan are the problem to begin with. One does not banish this specter by invoking it.

 [D]emocracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of **subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few.**\\
