It's easier to resist at the beginning than at the end.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is often more difficult to resist something as time goes on. Taking action and resisting in the early stages is easier compared to waiting until the situation has progressed. It highlights the idea that addressing a problem or temptation promptly can prevent it from growing stronger and becoming harder to resist. Tackling challenges or temptations early on can help maintain self-control and avoid potential consequences that may arise later.

Monarchies, aristocracies, and religions are all based upon that large defect in your race -- the individual's distrust of his neighbor, and his desire, for safety's or comfort's sake, to stand well in his neighbor's eye. These institutions will always remain, and always flourish, and always oppress you, affront you, and degrade you, because you will always be and remain slaves of minorities. There was never a country where the majority of the people were in their secret hearts loyal to any of these institutions.

I can't control what people think. I'm not trying to manipulate people's thoughts or sentiments. I write all the time. You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions. It's machine-like how things are run now in hip-hop, and my ambitions are different.

To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that will task the reader more than any other exercise which the customs of the day esteem. It requires a training such as the athletes underwent, the steady intention almost of the whole life to this object.
