My thoughts on dealing with opposition:
This has taken me a very long time to learn, but here it is: “If a lynch-mob wants to hang you, you don’t give them a noose; if someone wants to shoot you, you don’t give them a loaded gun; if an archer wants to hunt you down, you don’t give him arrows.” Gareth Bryant… Continue reading
