"My philosophy of life is that the meek shall inherit nothing but debasement, frustration and ignoble deaths; that there is security in personal strength; that you can fight City Hall and win; that any action is better than no action, even if it's the wrong action; that you never reach glory or self-fulfillment unless you're willing to risk everything, dare anything, put yourself dead on the line every time; and that once one becomes strong or rich or potent or powerful it is the responsibility of the strong to help the weak become strong." -- Harlan Ellison (b. 1934-05-27), The Harlan Ellison Hornbook, (1973-08-09)
[I found the quote in
Wikiquote
after I was inspired to go looking for it when

referred to the "responsibility of the strong to help the weak
become strong" part of it.]
Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends (and Columbus Day to my fellow Americans).
