Quotes from Sawaki Kodo Roshi, "To You":
One guy loses the presidential election, so he cries. Next time
around he wins the election, and then he smiles into the camera.
What makes politicians different from little children anyway?
It’s exactly the same way with a crying child: you offer him some
candy and already a smile breaks out on his teary face.
A little more maturity would be nice.
Anyone who relies on his resume is a failure.
Most people don’t live from their own strength. They let
themselves be fed by the system.
“He’s a great guy: he can drink two bottles of wine just like
that!” What’s called “good” is usually nothing special. Each
clique has their own standard which they use to explain
something as “good” or “not so good.”
People are impressed by strange things. You only need to be a
little different and the whole world is impressed.
