When people are having to surrender their animals for economic reasons or because they’re in the middle of a horrible disaster or war zone area, that’s a people problem ; this is not some issue that is not relevant to people, this is bigger than dogs or cats in shelters. It’s about the people who love them.

This bizarre but prevalent ideology that permeates these policy measures purports to act in the name of justice for the marginalized. But it frowns upon American institutions. It rejects merit and achievement. And it advocates identity essentialism, we reject this woke ideology. We seek normalcy, not philosophical lunacy. We will not allow reality, facts and truth to become optional. We will never surrender to the woke mob. Florida is where woke goes to die.

Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run—in the long-run, I say!—success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it.

Because of the bravery of the Ukrainian people, President Biden was giving something you rarely get in geopolitics: a second chance. But if he signs this deal, if he signs this instrument of simultaneous surrender to Iran, Russia, and China, he will squander the second chance and America will suffer in the process, it’s like giving Putin the pistol to point at our heads to hold us hostage. It makes absolutely no sense and again, it undermines everything that President Biden promised with respect to Vladimir Putin.

Tolerance. It is sometimes compared to resignation and surrender, but the meaning is different. Tolerance does not mean that you give up or that you give up everything, nor does it mean that you resign or let go of the person you love. Let's say that tolerance is that you just choose the right because that's what you have to do. Maybe, inside you still love that person, but that's why you choose his pleasure more than your pleasure. Tolerance is not being stingy. Rather, it is giving or sharing fun with other people. Tolerance, a way of sacrificing in a way that even when you are already hurting, what is important for you is that you see the person you love happy. ‘If you really love him, be happy for him’, scratches that saying about tolerance. Maybe, it's also a way for you to show your true love for that person.
