In relation to each segment of the earth different peoples live in different countries,but if we look at the entire compass of this world there is only one country for all,the whole earth,and one home,the world.........
Diogenes
Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principals of liberty,which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate....
Bertrand Russell
All religions have this in common,that they are an outrage to common sense,for they are pieced together out of veriety of elements some of which seem so unworthy,sordid and at odds with man's reason that any strong and vigorous intelligence laughs at them;but others are so noble,illustrious,miraculous and mysterious that the intellect can make no sense of them and finds them unpalatable. All religions,without exception,share the same characteristics,all discover and publicise miracles,prodigies,oracles,sacred mysteries,saints,prophets,festivals,articles of faith and beliefs necessary for salvation,each pretends to be better and truer than the others.... In religion one finds the most extraordinary claims and the most transparent impostures,but these only serve to inspire the greater reverence and more unquestioning admiration. Ones nation,ones country,ones home determines ones religion. One is of the religion of the place where one was born and brought up.We are circumcised or baptised-Jews or Moslems or christians -before we know we are human beings....

"On the Pembroke Road look out for my ghost,dishevelled with shoes untied,playing through the railings with children whose children have long since died"..........
Paddy Kavanagh
Asked how he would like to be remembered: "I'll tell you how i'd like to be remembered,as a black man who won the heavyweight title and who was humourous and who treated everyone right. As a man who never looked down on those who looked up to him and who helped as many of his people as he could, financial and also in their fight for freedom,justice ,and equality. As a man who couldn't embarress them. As a man who tried to unite his people through the faith of Islam that he found when he listened to honourable Elijah Muhammed. And if all that's asking to much,then i guess i'd settle for being remembered only as a great boxing champion who became a preacher and a champion of his people,and i wouldn't even mind if folks forgot how pretty i was"
