Heaven & earth do not unite… Thus the superior man falls back upon his inner worth in order to escape the difficulties.

Resistance
La República de California was an unrecognized breakaway state from Mexico, that for 25 days in 1846 militarily controlled an area north of San Francisco.
Mexican officials had been concerned about a coming war with the United States and the growing influx of Americans into California. The rebellion was covertly encouraged by US Army Captain John Frémont.
“California Republic” appeared only on the flag the insurgents raised in Sonoma. It indicated their aspiration of forming a republican government under their control.
The Bear Flag Revolt and whatever remained of the “California Republic” ceased to exist on July 9 when US Navy Lieutenant Joseph Revere raised the United States flag in front of the Sonoma Barracks and sent a second flag to be raised at Sutter’s Fort.

The danger of heaven lies in the fact that one cannot climb it … The effects of the time of danger are truly great.

Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all, cling onto your back, and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it devour your remains – for all things will kill you, both slowly & fastly – but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.

Come on, sir. Here’s the place. Stand still.
How fearful and dizzy ’tis to cast one’s eyes so low!
The crows and choughs that wing the midway air show scarce so gross as beetles.

Walk a fine line between flexibility and consistency. A strategist must have faith in his strategy and the courage to follow it through, and still be open-minded enough to realize when a change of course is required.

Suffer no exceptions to the program, and maintain momentum. It’s critical to know what motivates, how to push that extra mile.
Stick to a regimen. To stay engaged, new challenges are needed. Repetition or comfort means it’s time to find a new target for one’s energy.
