“Ibrahim tizenhárom esztendős nagyvezérsége idején olyan rendhagyó viszonyok uralkodtak a Portán, amelyek ott korábban is, később is elképzelhetetlenek lettek volna, s amelyekben felfedezhetők az „europaizálódás” felületi ismérvei is. A görög renegát olyan gesztusokat engedett meg magának, amelyek megzavarták és megbotránkoztatták a hithű mohamedánokat. Olyannyira megtetszettek például neki a budai várban 1526-ban felfedezett hatalmas ércszobrok, hogy azokat Isztambulba szállíttatta, és – bár a mohamedán felfogás tiltotta az emberábrázolást – fel is állíttatta a város egyik legforgalmasabb helyén, az At mejdánon. Egy csípős nyelvű ortodox költő az alábbi versezettel adott hangot nemtetszésének:

"két Ibrahim élt a földön,
az egyik [a bibliai Ábrahám] összetörette a bálványokat
a másik újból életre keltette azokat."

(Ibrahim válaszul kivégeztette a verselőt.)”

The problem is inherent in the system.”

“Emotional generosity is when an individual or organization combines empathy—the willingness to feel, understand, and share another person’s experiences and emotions—and sacrifice, surren- dering something you need or desire so that someone else can have it. The result of combining these two attributes is trust: the belief that someone or something is good, honest, and reliable. And when someone trusts you, they’re willing to emotionally connect with you. That connection, that bond, is invaluable, both in personal relationships and organizational loyalty and growth. When people feel trust and connection, they allow themselves to be taken on a journey, and that’s what makes it possible to create something truly special.”
― Alan Philips, The Age of Ideas: Unlock Your Creative Potential

As I would have done. The thought popped unwelcome into his head.”

― Robert Bolt, Vivat! Vivat Regina!

“The Final Word by Stewart Stafford

On the wall of a prominent jacks,
Came anonymous, scurrilous attacks,
Innuendo and defamatory jibes,
Scrawled by cowardly scribes,
Dared the executioner’s axe.

And whoever wrote the indecent graffiti,
Would never say it to the King in a meeting,
He’d cry: ‘Off with their heads,’
Then sleep safely in bed,
Having the final word takes some beating.

And as they walked to an undignified death,
No sarcastic words came from their breath,
They were up for the chop,
On the executioner’s block,
And would plead it was all for a bet.

So if you’ve ill words planned,
Remember to keep them in hand,
Or the butt of your jokes,
Becomes your executioner’s host,
And that’s the end of your brand.
