If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. ↗

We are asking the nations of Europe between whom rivers of blood have flowed to forget the feuds of a thousand years. ↗
