“When a captive lion steps out of his cage, he comes into a wider world than the lion who has known only the wilds. While he was in captivity, there were only two worlds for him - the world of the cage, and the world outside the cage. Now he is free. He roars. He attacks people. He eats them.

Then go to work and help the poor yourselves first, and do all you can for them, and then call upon God to do the balance.”
