It is considered in England and the United States that the Government of South Africa is altogether too harsh with its native peoples.

The purpose of [a lawsuit] is to harass and discourage rather than to win.

If possible, of course, ruin him utterly.
For a very great many years, I asked this question: ‘To communicate or not to communicate?’ If one got himself in such thorough trouble by communication, then of course one should stop communicating.

Of all the ills of man which can be successfully processed by Scientology, arthritis ranks near the top. In skilled hands, this ailment, though misunderstood and dreaded in the past, already has begun to become history.
