• The office of Speaker is almost as ancient as Parliament itself. It emerged in the Middle Ages when the Commons - the ordinary people - of England needed a spokesman in their dealings with the King, someone who would voice their grievances and present their petitions. This was by no means a safe or easy thing to do at that time, and potential spokesman generally had to be pressured into accepting the responsibility.

• If we could make up our minds to spare our friends all details of ill health, of money losses, of domestic annoyances, of altercations, of committee work, of grievances, provocations, and anxieties, we should sin less against the world's good-humor. It may not be given us to add to the treasury of mirth; but there is considerable merit in not robbing it.

• Una gran parte de lo que pasa por el nombre de patriotismo en estos días consiste en la más mera intolerancia y estrechez de miras; exhibiéndose en prejuicios nacionales, engreimiento nacional y odio nacional. No se manifiesta en hechos, sino en fanfarronadas, en aullidos, gesticulaciones y gritos impotentes de auxilio, en banderas ondeantes y canciones cantadas, y en el perpetuo rechinar del organillo de agravios largamente muertos y agravios largamente rememorados. Estar infestado por un patriotismo como éste es quizás una de las mayores maldiciones que pueden caer sobre cualquier país.

• When you talk about your troubles, your ailments, your diseases, your hurts, you give longer life to what makes you unhappy. Talking about your grievances merely adds to those grievances. Give recognition only to what you desire. Think and talk only about the good things that add to your enjoyment of your work and life. If you don't talk about your grievances, you'll be delighted to find them disappearing quickly.

  Thomas Dreier

• Almsgiving tends to perpetuate poverty; aid does away with it once and for all. Almsgiving leaves a man just where he was before. Aid restores him to society as an individual worthy of all respect and not as a man with a grievance. Almsgiving is the generosity of the rich; social aid levels up social inequalities. Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.

  Evita Perón
