What I can't quite see at this stage is that the evidence, even to the president, seems to be that clear. And if it is that clear, I can't understand why we are not capable of convincing our closest allies that given that evidence, they ought to join us in this effort. ↗

I'm very used to stages and dressing rooms. And dare I say it, much as I like being at home, I love the buzz of a new hotel room. It never quite loses its thing. ↗

By deafness one gains in one respect more than one loses; one misses more nonsense than sense. ↗

I love watching the Serengeti, the way lions live. The only way the king lion loses his crown is by somebody physically defeating him. ↗

Closest to the truth are those who deal lightly with it because they know it is inexhaustible. ↗
