A little snippet, to prove I am still working on things...

[Bob Schroeck]

"Power is a terrible thing, teishi.  It can turn the weak into
bullies and an innocent into a tyrant if it is not understood and
used sparingly.  There is a responsibility that must be 
acknowledged by those who gain power on the scale you and I 
possess -- a responsibility to know when and when *not* to use our
power -- and *how*.  Always be wary of using *too much*, because 
there is always a way to solve any problem that is simple and 
easy and massive overkill, and which will have so many unexpected
side effects that they will swamp out any good you intended to 
do.  In anything but the defeat of your enemies, always use the
lightest touch and the least power necessary, because there is a
great difference between a drinking fountain and a fire hose.

"And yes, I know I am a hypocrite where this is concerned.  But
for many uses of my own power, I have no chance to be subtle or
learn subtlety."
