Wisdom
is life experience applied to well-considered judgment.
Darkness
arises from the absence or deficiency of light, obscurity from its excess.

to tamper is but one small step.
Do not surrender
one handhold until you have grasped another.

He who builds the future without regard for the past is like one who looks into the mirror and promptly forgets what he sees.
Populism
is an incomplete and degenerate form of democracy.
Under a
tyranny the law is misused as an instrument of injustice, persecution,
repression, and oppression.

freedoms.
The
rule of law creates, builds, and sustains just societies.
