Absence is a genuine absence and not merely an absence of what is present even if what is present is truly absent... it is rather the absence of both absence and presence.

Absence is the common cure of love.

Absence is the death of love.

Absence is love's foe: far from the eyes, far from the heart.

The Border is the scar of history.

A Border is scratched across the hearts of men by strangers with a calm, judicial pen, and when the borders bleed we watch with dread the lines of ink across the map turn red.

The Border is strategically important — When the lips are gone the teeth are cold.

A Border is established so there is something to fight about.

Competition is man's driving force — Men do not desire merely to be rich, but to be richer than other men.

Competition is for losers — all failed companies are the same: they failed to escape competition.

Competition is sure to bring out the best in products and the worst in people.

Competition is the keen cutting edge of business, always shaving away at costs.
