"Man is a history-making creature who can neither repeat the past nor leave it behind." - W.H.Auden; "The Dyer's Hand".
"Ultimately it is only the man who feels quite hopeless about himself who really trusts God." ~Martyn Lloyd-Jones
While all men seek after happiness, scarcely one in a hundred looks for it from God.- John Calvin @JohnCalvinDaily
They say Princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer. He will throw a Prince as soon as his groom.-Ben Jonson, Discoveries, Illiteratus, Princep
“Moreover, Europe remains the world leader in not only allowing people to stay but in assisting them to fight the state even when they are there illegally. By 2016 Britain had still not even managed to deport a man wanted in India for two bombings in 1993. The Bolton greengrocer Tiger Hanif arrived in Britain illegally in 1996 and had managed to receive more than £200,000 in legal aid from British taxpayers to avoid repatriation. And nor does the continent’s madness stop there. When Belgian investigators looked at the perpetrators of the numerous terrorist plots carried out by Belgian nationals, they discovered that a great many of them had plotted their attacks whilst being supported by the state. Indeed, Salah Abdeslam, lead surviving suspect of the November 2015 Paris attacks, had collected unemployment benefit to the tune of €19,000 in the period preceding the attacks. He had collected his last benefits only weeks before, making European societies among the first in history to pay people to attack them.” Douglas Murray – The Strange Death of Europe (Page 204)
