"While I was dressing, he sat on the edge of my bed, and
said, 'You know, Son, sometimes a fellow has to take a licking for doing the
right thing. A licking only lasts a short while, even if it's a hard one, but
failing to do the right thing will often make a mark on a man that will last
forever.'"
Freedom only lasts among people who are willing to do the
right things even when they are hard--especially
when they are hard.
