I am happy that Poland is returning to the road of pluralism and democracy.
We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and courage to stop what we shouldn't do.
Give no man sympathy because he has to work - it is his blessing that he can.
Freedom cannot always continue in comfort and convenience, cannot be assured without sacrifice, without truth and decency, without willingness to work, without downright honesty and honor, and readiness to keep the commandments and live within the law. . . there is no liberty without a real respect for law; no liberty if we forget God, or fail to remember the principles on which freedom is founded.
All things need watching, working at, caring for, and marriage is no exception. Marriage is not something to be indifferently treated or abused, or something that simply takes care of itself. Nothing neglected will remain as it was or is, or will fail to deteriorate. All things need attention, care and concern, and esp. . . ecially so in this most sensitive of all relationships of life.
One of our urgent opportunities is to respond to a child when he earnestly asks, remembering that they don't always ask.
Parents who indulge themselves 'in moderation' may have children who indulge themselves to excess.

Let's be clear: all professions look bad in the movies. And there's a good reason for this. Movies don't portray career paths, they conscript interesting lifestyles to serve a plot. So lawyers are all unscrupulous and doctors are all uncaring. Psychiatrists are all crazy, and politicians are all corrupt. All cops are psychopaths, and all businessmen are crooks. Even moviemakers come off badly: directors are megalomaniacs, actors are spoiled brats. Since all occupations are portrayed negatively, why expect scientists to be treated differently?
