When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.
I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to
change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the
nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change
the town and as an older man, I tried to change my
family. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I
can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long
ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact
on my family. My family and I could have made an impact
on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation
and I could indeed have changed the world."

' There still lingers, in those pockets of the mind where shadows are turned into demons and where things go bump in the night, a flutter of the heart when the clock strikes twelve and a yearning for fire lit hearths where children listen to ghost stories on long, cold winter nights . . . This is the true heritage of a people who existed before Rome brought its version of 'civilisation' to Britain and will continue long after the twentieth century is forgotten. The ghost story is not just a part of history. It is history!'
Bob Meredith (The Haunted Cotswolds, 1999) |

Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks.

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the
quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try
again tomorrow."
