A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
It's good to have money and the things that money will buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure you haven't lost the things that money won't buy. -George H. Lorimer, editor (6 Oct 1867-1937)
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. -Elie Wiesel, writer, Nobel laureate (30 Sep 1928-2016) @WordsmithOrg

Delighted to find Lord Byron’s brand new resting-place in Hyde Park today. He was stranded on an island at the bottom of Park Lane in the 60s. Then he was hidden by trees. Now we can all see him clearly. ‘I love not man the less, but Nature more...’
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Extended empires are like expanded gold, exchanging solid strength for feeble splendor. -Samuel Johnson, lexicographer (18 Sep 1709-1784) @WordsmithOrg
You may not be able to change the world, but at least you can embarrass the guilty. -Jessica Mitford, author, journalist, and civil rights activist (11 Sep 1917-1996)
When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can't eat money. -Alanis Obomsawin, filmmaker (b. 31 Aug 1932)

Those cowards who booed the Welcome to Country at Dawn Services around Australia dishonour the ANZACs and all those who have fought for our nation ever since. Ignorance is no excuse for betraying Australian values and seeking to undermine what we stand for as a country.
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The belief in the possibility of a short decisive war appears to be one of the most ancient and dangerous of human illusions. -Robert Lynd, writer (20 Apr 1879-1949)
