Ever wish that you could say what you really feel about something going on in Klal? Ever wonder just why Klal acts/thinks the way it does? Here members of Klal can have the conversations they should be having but that aren't happening elsewhere, except, perhaps, in whispered conversations in dark corners. Say what you mean here, and let us hope that some conversation now will lead to changes later, some changes that are long overdue in Klal.

Words to Ponder
Putting money into perspective
"He who loses money loses much. He who loses a friend loses more. But he who loses faith loses all."
Henry H. Haskins

I'd like to know more about the context of the quote. Does faith mean religious faith; faith in a friend; faith in humanity in general?
A person might lose religious faith but retain faith in the goodness of humanity.
Anon, I got the quotation from a book of famous quotes. Unfortunately, other than the author the book gives no other information about when the quote was said and under what circumstances. Trying to find more info about Haskins led to the strange fact that other than the quote attributed to him--and it's attributed on dozens of sites, I can't find out a single piece of info on the author.
