One measures a circle, beginning anywhere. Charles Fort

The reputation of a Don Juan gives to a man the most dangerous power.

religious war differences
You see, when a nation threatens another nation the people of the latter forget their factionalism, their local antagonisms, their political differences, their suspicions of each other, their religious hostilities, and band together as one unit.
