The nonviolent approach does not immediately change the heart of the oppressor. It first does something to the hearts and souls of those committed to it. It gives them new self-respect; it calls up resources of strength and courage they did not know they had. mlk

s'arrêter à temps

Savoir s'arrêter à temps, tout un art

Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby........ H. L. Mencken




While you have a future do not live too much in contemplation of your past: unless you are content to walk backward the mirror is a poor guide.....  Ambrose Bierce
