When things are going wrong declare constantly that you are not going to be afraid or intimidated by any outer condition.

Whenever you are afraid of something you are worshipping it. Whatever you fear, you bow down to and give it power.

Bourgeois society ought long ago to have gone to the dogs through sheer idleness; for those of its members who work, acquire nothing, and those who acquire anything, do not work.
