Those, who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.

 

George Santayana

 

To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society’s ills on the West – know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history…

 

US President Barack Obama

 

To this author: Leo, stick close to those you know, love and trust today. There’s a lot of duplicity around and someone really, really doesn’t like you. You don’t like them either, but that won’t be any comfort if you fall prey to their plans.
