What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself.

Summary

This quote suggests that the negative actions or characteristics of an individual or organization can be amplified by the attention and publicity they receive. Like a skunk, which emits a foul odor to protect itself, the actions of those who draw attention to themselves in unfortunate or disgraceful ways can ultimately lead to their downfall. In essence, it implies that unwanted attention can exacerbate and ultimately destroy the reputation or credibility of someone or something.

One of the advantages of moving quickly is if you do something wrong you can change it. What technologies tend to do is they tend to make a lot of mistakes... but then we go back and aggressively attack those mistakes - and fix them. And you usually recover pretty quickly.

Evil, and evil spirits, devils and devil possession, are the outgrowth of man's inadequate consciousness of God. We must avoid thinking of evil as a thing in itself-a force that works against man or, against God, if you will.
