Summary

This quote suggests that movements that originate from a place of hate or opposition can easily adopt the same negative qualities as their perceived enemy. It implies that when a movement is driven by animosity, it becomes susceptible to becoming just as destructive or intolerant as the force it originally set out to combat. In essence, it warns against allowing hatred to fuel a movement, as it can lead to a replication of the very attributes it seeks to dismantle.

I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.

My mom passed away at 41 from diabetes. And I'm 42, thank you. I didn't want to do that to my son. So any time I was at the gym, that thing that helped me do that last squat was my son calling some other woman mommy. And that would just give me that extra oomph to do that last squat. I want to be around for him.
