If you can't control your reproduction, you can't control your life.

If you can't control your reproduction, you can't control yo

Summary

This quote suggests that being able to control one's reproductive choices is essential for exercising control over one's own life. It implies that decisions related to reproduction, such as the choice to have or not have children, can greatly impact a person's future and the direction their life takes. Without the ability to make deliberate reproductive choices, individuals may find their life path dictated by circumstances beyond their control. Thus, the quote underscores the significance of reproductive autonomy in determining and shaping one's own life.

Death eats up all things, both the young lamb and old sheep; and I have heard our parson say, death values a prince no more than a clown; all's fish that comes to his net; he throws at all, and sweeps stakes; he's no mower that takes a nap at noon-day, but drives on, fair weather or foul, and cuts down the green grass as well as the ripe corn: he's neither squeamish nor queesy-stomach d, for he swallows without chewing, and crams down all things into his ungracious maw; and you can see no belly he has, he has a confounded dropsy, and thirsts after men's lives, which he gurgles down like mother's milk.

The road to your championship will not be a smooth, wide and easily traveled freeway. No, great accomplishments are never realized without first having to endure steep climbs, hard falls and sharp turns. The key to your success is perseverance and focus. Keep your focus on that which you desire to accomplish, your championship, and continually discover ways to, and ways not to, achieve your goals. Fall down and/or get knocked down 10 times and get back up 11..., and in so doing learn, grow and move closer to your championship.
