Failure -- The man who can tell others what to do and how to

Summary

This quote highlights the concept of failure as someone who possesses knowledge and instructs others but fails to put that knowledge into action. It critiques individuals who have the ability to dictate and guide others' actions but lack the personal drive or commitment to practice what they preach. By not leading by example, they fall short of truly embodying success and remain confined to a state of failure themselves.

Today is Trinity Sunday. Centuries ago words were written to be a call and a spur to the faithful servants of Truth and Justice: Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valor, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be.

In old days there were angels who came and took men by the hand and led them away from the city of destruction. We see no white-winged angels now.
