The mind like a parachute functions only when open.

Summary

This quote suggests that having an open mind is essential for thinking, learning, and growing. It draws a parallel between the functioning of a parachute, which can only help someone safely descend when open, and the mind, which can only truly operate when receptive to new ideas and perspectives. Just as a closed parachute would hinder a person's descent, a closed mind limits the individual's ability to understand and adapt. Thus, the quote emphasizes the importance of embracing openness and willingness to consider different viewpoints for personal development and intellectual exploration.

What then is capital punishment but the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal's deed, however calculated it may be, can be compared For there to be an equivalence, the death penalty would have to punish a criminal, who had warned his victim of the date at which he would inflict a horrible death on him, and who from that moment onward had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not encountered in private life.
