Many and sharp the num'rous ills
Inwoven with our frame!
More pointed still we make ourselves
Regret, remorse, and shame!
And Man, whose heav'n-erected face
The smiles of love adorn, -
Man's inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn!

Robert Burns

Words to be listened to...

"Nature, Mr. Allnut, is what we are put in this world to rise above."

Rose (Katharine Hepburn) to Charlie (Humphrey Bogart) in 'The African Queen'
