Quote by Winston Churchill

When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.

When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize

Summary

This quote highlights the phrase that one should refrain from criticizing or attacking their own government while traveling abroad, but let their views be freely expressed upon returning home. It suggests that while abroad, it is important to maintain a positive image of one's own country, showing respect and avoiding potential conflicts. However, once back home, this individual sees it as an opportune time to exercise their right to critique, perhaps because they feel more secure and surrounded by fellow citizens who may share similar viewpoints.

We are raised to believe (on the surface, at least) that us

We are raised to believe (on the surface, at least) that us humans only have so much love to give, and that it comes in a standard round unit: one. After all, we associate love with the heart, and, well, you've either got a whole heart, or you're dead, period. You can't, common wisdom goes, just run around dividing that one heart up freely; to claim to do so means that you're either a fool, or you're dividing up something that is dead.
