You're trying to convince a bunch classmates that "made grimaces" when you describe the trauma that they should learn to defend themselves? Good luck with that, you might start with a "sheeple" analogy.
I've got some interesting junk you might like?
Or not?
"For men of understanding do not say that the sword is to blame for murder, nor wine for drunkenness, nor strength for outrage, nor courage for foolhardiness, but they lay the blame on those who make an improper use of the gifts which have been bestowed upon them by God, and punish them accordingly."
St. John Chrysostom (circa 341-410 A.D.), from "Treatise on the Priesthood,"
via B.T. Carlin, M.D.
"There is no safety for honest men, except by believing all possible evil of evil men."
Edwin Burke, via Thomas Sowell
and this;
"And consider that learning has no greater enemy than ignorance, neither can the unskillful ever judge the truth of my art to them unknown, beware of rash judgment and accept my labors thankfully as I bestow them willingly, censure me justly, let no man despise my work herein causeless, and so I refer myself to the censure of such as are skillful herein and I commit you to the protection of the almighty Jehovah.
Yours in all love and friendly affection,
George Syluer" (Silver)
