The public seldom forgive twice.

The public seldom forgive twice.

Summary

This quote suggests that the public is often unwilling to forgive someone for their mistakes or wrongdoings more than once. It implies that once someone commits an offense or makes a significant error, the public's forgiveness towards that individual can be limited. People may extend forgiveness to someone initially, but if the same person repeats a similar mistake or shows a lack of remorse, the public's forgiveness is likely to diminish. It highlights the notion that second chances are not always guaranteed, and personal actions can play a significant role in determining the public's forgiveness.

There is truth, my boy. But the doctrine you desire, absolute, perfect dogma that alone provides wisdom, does not exist. Nor should you long for a perfect doctrine, my friend. Rather, you should long for the perfection of yourself. The deity is within you, not in ideas and books. Truth is lived, not taught.

As we approach the new millennium, we see how much remains to be done to give our young and future generations a better world to live in: a more peaceful society with a healthier, cleaner environment and a pattern of sustainable development which seeks to eradicate poverty. Education is the single most powerful means to improve the quality of life... the single most powerful weapon against poverty and intolerance. Education builds a culture of peace ... it empowers human beings, both young and adult, to be effective in their chosen sphere of activity ... education in its essence, opens doors to both personal and social development.
