Quote Of The Week

For all the cold noses and warm hearts, the snowed in, the breadless, milkless hordes of Britons fighting the Beast, here is my quote of the week.

‘The English never yield, and though driven back and thrown into confusion, they always return to the fight, thirsting for vengeance as long as they have a breath of life.’

-Giovanni Mocenigo, Venetian Ambassodor in France 1588.

–The Devil Wears Prada – Lauren Weisberger

Quote Of The Week

‘When we’re kind to one person, it might actually be affecting around 16 people. Our behaviour had a three-stage knock-on, or ‘ripple’ effect, so when we help one person, that person then helps other people, who in turn helps others. The 3-Degree Ripple Rule.’

Dr. David Hamilton sourced from ‘Kindness, the little thing that matters most.’  by Jaime Thurston.
