Therefore the radical wastes his opportunity if he seriously considers the issues of his trial. If he is found guilty it is the ruling power's decision that he cannot be tolerated. If he is found innocent it is the ruling powers's decision that he need not be feared. The radical must not argue his innocence, for the trial is not of his making; he must argue his ideas.

Gyo ? ('practice' and also 'to practice') is what monks undergo in their training inside the temple; it's an ordeal, a trial to be mastered. And it never ends. You practice; you reach a new level; and then you practice again.

Children have no sympathy with growth in any world, whether of nature or of grace. Nothing pleases them but that an acorn should become an oak at once, and that immediately after the blossom should come the ripe fruit. Then it is idle to speak of the uses of patience to the inexperienced; for the moral value of the discipline of trial cannot be appreciated till the trial is past.

~ Alexander Hamilton
The excellence of the trial by jury in civil cases appears to depend on circumstances foreign to the preservation of liberty. The strongest argument in its favor is, that it is a security against corruption.

~ Alexander Hamilton

~ Alexander Herzen
God lets you hang out on a limb till the very last second and then rescues you. It builds your trust. If He made it easy all the time, you would never trust Him when you really need to.
