One thing I learned about the British: a small victory makes you arrogant, and the slightest failure plunges you into despondency.

***
How many times
just because of the word of one thing
the most terrible massacre
the feast ended
and all for the same reason
overnight upside down again
The world was turned upside down!
***
In form and substance
arrogance, which is
at the helm of power,
perhaps there is a sign,
when it is not yet complete mad,
then part of it.
***
It would seem that the more perfect he is,
the more worthy
the title of God he is the son,
the less a person should need
in the delights of technology
and all sorts of machines.

Confidence does with the inquisitiveness of man what the sun did with the wings of Icarus. In the bright light, certainties fade and doubts disappear. Confidence entails arrogance, arrogance is followed by blindness, and blindness is followed by darkness. Thus, the brighter the light of confidence, the more darkness it creates. This is called the contradictory nature of a belief.

I would say "when you have time", death. Only think I have come on a lot more than you.

Question: What is the biggest obstacle to progress?
Answer: Pride and selfishness; I'm talking about moral progress, for intellectual progress occurs constantly. It even seems at first glance that it doubles the activity of these defects by developing ambition and the love of riches, which in turn, motivates activities that enlightens his spirit. So, what happens is that everything is interconnected as the world's moral and physical, and out of evil can come good; but this situation is only temporary; it will change as people begin to understand that beyond the pleasure earthly things there is happiness infinitely greater and infinitely more lasting.

One other thing I was not able to achieve them - questions. In the end, one student explained to me: "If I ask You a question during a lecture, then everyone will say: "Why are you wasting our time in the classroom? We try to learn something. And you're stopping him by asking a question". It was a kind of one-upmanship, as nobody knew what was happening, and was just pretending to understand. They pretended that they are clear. And if someone asked the question, recognizing thereby that it is not all clear, he looked down and said that it takes time.
I explained how it is useful to work together, to discuss all the problems, all to the end to find out, but they didn't do it, because asking a question, they dropped their dignity. Poor man! Reasonable people, and how much work they spent, but learned this ridiculous, warped view of things and did their "education" is meaningless, utterly meaningless.
