Cave ab homine unius libri

Concordia res parvae crescent
Work together to accomplish more
People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.
Als die Nazis-(1945) by Rev. Martin Niemöller
Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten,
habe ich geschwiegen;
ich war ja kein Kommunist.
Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten,
habe ich geschwiegen;
ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat.
Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten,
habe ich nicht protestiert;
ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter.
Als sie die Juden holten,
habe ich geschwiegen;
ich war ja kein Jude.
Als sie mich holten,
gab es keinen mehr, der protestierte.
English Translation:
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not protest;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to protest.

Yet an insect’s an insect at most,
Tho’ it crawl on the curl of a Queen!"
ONLY THOSE WHO RISK GOING TOO FAR CAN POSSIBLY FIND OUT HOW FAR THEY CAN GO.........T. S. Eliot
and also from T S Eliot, The Wisdom of Humility:
“Do not let me hear
Of the wisdom of old men, but rather of their folly,
Their fear of fear and frenzy, their fear of possession,
Of belonging to another, or to others, or to God.
The only wisdom we can hope to acquire
is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless.”
from: Four Quartets, East Coker, [Stanza II] by T. S. Eliot:
Down the Hatch!
The following few lines from T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets, have great meaning in the present day world.
These days one sees far too much arrogance, misplaced pride, dubious honour, boastfulness and self glorification.
Humility, selflessness, service before self and other noble virtues seem to be thin on the ground.
Wise up folks, reading these few lines written by T. S. Elliot may help educate those who are self-centred and proud.
The world will be a far better place to live in if you are humble.
Do not let me hear
Of the wisdom of old men, but rather of their folly,
Their fear of fear and frenzy, their fear of possession,
Of belonging to another, or to others, or to God.
The only wisdom we can hope to acquire
Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless.
