13. We all start from some place and hope to end up someplace else. The path on this journey is strewn with failure. In fact the only predictor of success is the ability to constantly overcome and persevere in the face of failure. Get up, try again, and again. Till you succeed.

14. The freedom to fail repeatedly is truly a necessary privilege. A people who have not learned how to fail will not learn how to succeed. People who don't know how to succeed will surrender all their freedoms, quite easily. Fear of failure is truly fear of success.

15. Government-guaranteed mediocrity is the best way to infuse risk averse existence. The great American experiment was one of the riskiest and most spectacularly successful endeavors Why teach a man to fish in the dangerous outdoors when you can guarantee a fish fillet sandwich?

16. Government always was and will be a slothful, obese and insatiable creature. Feeding it more under the erroneous notion that it will somehow become more nimble and less avaricious is unmitigated idiocy.

17. How many government projects are completed on time, under budget & to exact specifications? The role of the government is to truly get out of the way of individuals breaking new ground and forging paths where none used to exist. Government is seldom panacea, but often disease
