“England, as I persuade myself, still contains in it many kings; possesses, as old Rome did, many men not needing "election" to command, but eternally elected for it by the Maker Himself. England's one hope is in these, just now. They are among the silent, I believe; mostly far away from platforms and public palaverings; not speaking forth the image of their nobleness in transitory words, but imprinting it, each on his own little section of the world, in silent facts, in modest valiant actions, that will endure forevermore. They must sit silent no longer. They are summoned to assert themselves; to act forth, and articulately vindicate, in the teeth of howling multitudes, of a world too justly maddened into all manner of delirious clamors, what of wisdom they derive from God.”

“In many perspectives, being fat, thin or slim has never been a really crucial issue. It can be a necessity. It can also be an option and choice for each.

“The fact that we have forgotten history is that we have placed the ego as the basis for justifying the logic of thinking based on the dominance of gender, skin color and especially power. Human collective history tends to be absurd, senseless and even insane. We have mistreated our fellow beings, ignored humanity and peace, destroyed the earth and damaged the environment, created wars, nuclear bombs and weapons of mass destruction in the name of personal ego.”
