b) Depending on the use, a single drug can heal or kill; in the same way, all things can serve a good or bad purpose

In this quote, Friar Laurence is saying that the flower he holds has different powers. A small dose will make people better, but a bigger dose will kill someone. In this way he shows that something that seems small can actually be incredibly powerful. Also in this is the idea that something can be good or bad depending on how it is used or seen. Friar Laurence compares this to love. Love can be good in that it makes people happy, but it can also destroy. In this case, Friar Laurence is referring to how Romeo has locked himself pining away after Rosaline.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
