ACCORDING TO DANIEL WEBSTER AN AMERICAN JOURNALIST," IF ALL MY POSSESSIONS WITH ONE EXCEPTION SHOULD BE DEMANDED FROM ME, I WOULD LIE TO KEEP MY POWER OF COMMUNICATION FOR BY IT I CAN REGAIN THE REST.
I think what the journalist is trying to say is that the power of communication in his field of expertise is paramount than any other tool he possesses since he is more into relating to the masses through the media. But i think that the power of communication should not be his prime objective but rather it should be hope or the believe in something because everything around him can be lost but if he believes in GOD as something he cannot do without then I would totally accept his concept.
