You will recognise, my boy ,the first sign of age : it is when you go out into the streets of London and realise for the first time how young the Policemen look

Time waits for no one!
To realize the value of one minute - ask a person who has missed the bus, train or plane!!!

The focal point of all reforms should be human liberation, and the respect for human value and human rights. The free development of each individual is the basis for all social progress. - Xu Wenli on Freedom 1944.
********************************************************
A quote from Dr Samuel Johnson, written in the 16th century and still worth remembering today.
"What signifies, says some one, giving halfpence to beggars? they only lay it out in gin or tobacco".
"And why should they be denied such sweeteners of their existence (says Johnson)? it is surely very savage to refuse them every possible avenue to pleasure, reckoned too coarse for our own acceptance. Life is a pill which none of us can bear to swallow without gilding; yet for the poor we delight in stripping it still barer, and are not ashamed to shew even visible displeasure, if ever the bitter taste is taken from their mouths."

Hatred is a form of faith, distilled by passion to remove all rationality.
Those who do not see money as a tool, but as an objective, will soon find themselves as its tool.
