I came across this apparent attempt to prevent trespassing atop a building.
It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system.

And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
