We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fea

Summary

This quote suggests that in the face of fear, we should cultivate courage as a means of defense. It implies that fear can be overwhelming, like a flood, and can negatively impact us if we are not prepared. By developing our courage, we are likening it to building dikes, structures designed to manage and control the floodwaters. It highlights the importance of facing our fears head-on and fortifying ourselves with bravery and resolve to prevent fear from overpowering us.

Most people never feel secure because they are always worrie

Most people never feel secure because they are always worried that they will lose their job, lose the money they already have, lose their spouse, lose their health, and so on. The only true security in life comes from knowing that every single day you are improving yourself in some way, that you are increasing the caliber of who you are and that you are valuable to your company, your friends, and your family.

Anybody who would like to travel as an archaeologist of mores and observe men instead of rocks could find an image of the century of Louis XV in some village in Provence, that of Louis XIV in Poitou, that of even more remote times in the far reaches of Brittany. Most of these cities have fallen from some splendor that historians, more preoccupied with dates than customs, no longer speak of, but whose memory lives on, such as in Brittany, where the national character scarcely accepts the forgetting of what this country is fundamentally about. . . All of these cities have their primitive character.
