I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with the roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest thing we know.
Every truth passes through three stages before
it is recognized. In the first it is ridiculed,
in the second it is opposed, in the third it
is regarded as self evident.
Give all options to the opponent, if you win its historical, if you fight and loose- he is definite to loose next time, if you loose-you can enjoy his happiness even.
