Amongst our weaponry…are such elements as fear, surprise…. I’ll come in again.

Please bring your pipes of peace and speak whatever is on your mind.

Judge the tree by the fruit thereof

You do not have to eat poison, and you can be sure that if you consume enough of some things you will die.

Some things are so benign you can eat them without limitation and become healthier.

Recognize the difference.
