Quote by Warren Farrell

Men are fair, and they have learned not to personalize anger - they can disagree with you and argue to the bone, but afterward they still consider you a nice person with whom the underlying human relationship need not be altered.

Men are fair, and they have learned not to personalize anger

Summary

This quote suggests that men have the ability to separate their personal emotions from disagreements or arguments. Even if they strongly disagree with someone and engage in heated debates, they don't let it tarnish their perception of that person as being fundamentally good or likable. This implies that men are better at maintaining healthy relationships by putting aside differences and valuing the underlying human connection. They can separate their anger or disagreement from their overall opinion of someone, allowing them to still view them as a decent individual.

And now, first and foremost, you can never afford to forget

And now, first and foremost, you can never afford to forget for a moment what is the object of our forest policy. That object is not to preserve forests because they beautiful, though that is good in itself; nor because they are refuges for the wild creatures of the wilderness, though that, too, is good in itself; but the primary object of our forest policy, as of the land policy of the United States, is the making of prosperous homes. It is part of the traditional policy of home making in our country. Every other consideration comes as secondary. You yourselves have got to keep this practical object before your minds: to remember that a forest which contributes nothing to the wealth, progress, or safety of the country is of no interest to the Government, and should be of little interest to the forester. Your attention must be directed to the preservation of forests, not as an end in itself, but as the means of preserving and increasing the prosperity of the nation.
