“Dear rulers ... I maintain that the civil authorities are under obligation to compel the people to send their children to school. ... If the government can compel such citizens as are fit for military service to bear spear and rifle, to mount ramparts, and perform other martial duties in time of war, how much more has it a right to compel the people to send their children to school, because in this case we are warring with the devil, whose object it is secretly to exhaust our cities and principalities of their strong men.” PeopleIfsMenChildrenWarGovernmentSchoolStrongCitiesCasesMilitaryObjectsDutyBearsCitizensFitAuthorityDevilDearObligationRulersRiflesSpearsStrong ManMilitary Service Author:Martin Luther
“Benedict (Cumberbatch, who is playing Sherlock) looks amazing. He's still got a Sherlockian silhouette, with a large overcoat, but in a classic cut. Watson dresses with an urban elegance, a touch of old school dashing, giving a feeling of both the military and medical profession. I suppose it's something they have in common as well. They're a bit metrosexual.” GivingWellsLooksStillsFeelingsSchoolBitsCommonCuttingMilitaryDressesProfessionMedicalClassicUrbanEleganceOld SchoolWatsonMedical ProfessionSilhouettesDashingOvercoatMetrosexuals Author:Martin Freeman
“They [people of Afghanistan] didn't want Al-Qaeda in their country. They didn't appreciate the Taliban taking control. But they really have an incredible amount of dignity.

“I grew up playing football and hunting; and went to military school and then into the Marine Corps. Kindness is not a valued trait. That`s why I had to learn kindness. As I grow older I'm finding it's something I definitely need to put focus on, thought and practice. Kindness actually comes from the heart, so it's really stretching inside of me.
