Look back to 1948 when the British Medical Association denounced Aneurin Bevan as 'a would-be Führer' for wanting them to join a National Health Service.

But where would we be today if my predecessors had caved in?
Facebook is so ubiquitous now that it's like another manifestation of the web itself.
One must scratch that part of the body or mind that itches.
To be Canadian is to live in relative calm and with great dignity.
I'm often a little perplexed, when I read a review of a book, by the quotes that are pulled out as evidence of excellent prose.

It's a very entitled thing to suggest that only one member of one family can save a country of 180 million people.

You're mistaken; men of sense often learn much from their enemies. Prudence is the best safeguard. This principle cannot be learnt from a friend: but an enemy extorts it immediately. It is from their foes and not their friends, that cities learn the lesson of building high walls and ships of war. And this lesson saves their children, their homes, and their properties.
