An angry person is a dangerous person,
whether that person crosses our path
or whether the angry person is ourself.

We look for someone to blame for the dangerous situation,
and direct our anger toward them.

and the fear-based advice
your neighbors are so willing to give you.

We have nearly complete misunderstanding between
people of different faiths in Lake Wobegon,
and that's probably one reason why we get along so very well.
It's when you are trying to convince another person to think
the same way that you do that there is
friction and trouble between people.

There's no bond between people that's quite so strong as
when people each feel slightly superior towards the other one.

The more you aim at it and make it a target,

to a cause greater than oneself.

No matter how strong or clever,
Some one will sneer if you pause to hear,

Though close be your aim to the bull's-eye fame,
There are those who will never admit it.
