M. Scott Peck (48)

 

I am fairly sure that M. Scott Peck said this in one of his books although I don't know if he was the first to say it. I can't find the quote attributable to him online and I am not going to reread all of his books looking for it so I will have to wait to know for sure.

The UN (19.9.23)

 




“More and more, the UN is falling, is losing credibility,” Preident Michael D. Higgins said.

“It is unable to stop war, it is unable to end famine, it is unable to stop conflicts, it is unable to manage migration.”

...

Minister for Environment and Green Party leader Eamon Ryan said the UN was the only mechanism for dealing with many of the world’s problem.

“The source of the problem is not the United Nations. The source of the problem is the lack of ambition in national government and lack of ambition to do the speed of change we need to do.”

How Many People Speak French, And Where Is It Spoken?


Fascinating reading about how big the French language is in much of the world in this article from Babbel.


"The sheer number of Mandarin, English and Spanish speakers is the most common justification for studying these languages. With the forecast growth of the language over the next 30 years, the same justification can be used for French."
