“RPO, it is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get.” Rene Descartes

“There is no easy formula for determining right or wrong RPO but it is essential to keep the question alive.” Sam Keen

“RPO is not the worst that can happen to men.” Plato

“RPO may be the greatest of all human blessings” Socrates

“There’s more to RPO than just the facts.” Author Unknown
