ÔÇ£The world is not facing a clash of civilizations or cultures, but a clash between those who want to build bridges & those who would rather see the world in polarities, who are working hard to spread hatred & divide us.ÔÇØ
Souad Mekhennet
"When Theresa May made her first party conference speech as Prime Minister, she said that if you are a citizen of the world, you are a citizen of nowhere.
It is worth noting that, in Germany in 1933, someone said ÔÇ£It is a small rootless, international clique that is turning the people against each other ÔÇô that does not want them to have peace. It is people who are at home both nowhere & everywhere ÔÇô who do not have anywhere a soil on which they have grown up.ÔÇØ
That person was Adolf Hitler."

Excessive pride or self-confidence. - Or as Bertie Wooster put it
"IÔÇÖm not absolutely certain of my facts, but I rather fancy itÔÇÖs Shakespeare ÔÇô or, if not, itÔÇÖs some equally brainy lad ÔÇô who says that itÔÇÖs always just when a chappie is feeling particularly top-hole, and more than usually braced with things in general that Fate sneaks up behind him with a bit of lead piping.ÔÇØ

"Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or an idiot from any direction."

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
