Advice from an Old Lion



Hub: Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.

-- from the film Second-Hand Lions (2003)

Valuable or unvaluable things. That is the question.

Okay, so most of those things are absolutely worth believing in, but "power and money are nothing" - - oh, would that it be true, but the realist in me would have to say, "power and money have a way of messing everything up". I should rent that movie.
