Summary

This quote suggests that the outcomes and experiences we have in life are not entirely dependent on our desires or aspirations but are instead a reflection of who we truly are as individuals. It emphasizes the importance of personal growth, character development, and self-improvement in achieving success and fulfillment. Merely desiring something does not guarantee its manifestation; it is the alignment between our inner values, attitudes, and actions that ultimately shapes our reality. To attain what we truly want, we must first focus on nurturing our own personal growth and becoming the person who is capable of attracting and achieving those desires.

The principle of majority rule is the mildest form in which the force of numbers can be exercised. It is a pacific substitute for civil war in which the opposing armies are counted and the victory is awarded to the larger before any blood is shed. Except in the sacred tests of democracy and in the incantations of the orators, we hardly take the trouble to pretend that the rule of the majority is not at bottom a rule of force.
