| a56d18c | Strength and success - they are above morality, above criticism. It seems, then, that it is not what you do, but how you do it and what you call it.

In effect no crime is committed unless a criminal is caught. | failure john-steinbeck morality punishment strength success the-winter-of-our-discontent | John Steinbeck | |
