We only gain merit and psychological development by accepting ourselves as we are and by being serious enough to live the lives we are entrusted with. Our sins and errors and mistakes are necessary to us, otherwise we are deprived of the most precious incentives to development. — C. G. Jung

Planted by your care? No! Your oppression planted them in America ... nourished by your indulgence? They grew by your neglect of them ...
