Commitments

When writing an email, or letter, never commit to doing something that you don't intend to do.

Failure to follow through on a promised course of action will come back to bite you in the arse.

Local Councils

A pox upon local councils everywhere.

Diplomacy

Diplomacy is best left to the diplomats, and best conducted via diplomatic channels rather than publicly in the media.

Questions

No question is ever stupid, only those who claim that a question is stupid should be called stupid.

Flags

A country with no flag is a country with no future.

Treasury Departments

Treasury deprtments should not dictate foregin policy.

Banks

Banks only like to lend to people who don't need the money.

The Truth

The truth has an annoying habit of emerging at the most inconvenient of times; it is best not to try to hide from the truth.

The End Days

The end days of an incompetent and inept administration are always a joy to behold, as the members of that failed administration publicly turn on each other.

Proof, if it were needed, of the validity of that old saying:

"What goes around, comes around."

The Game

When the game is cold, walk away.

Flood

A flood or words rarely contains more than a drop of wisdom.

Dogs

Sometimes it is wise to give a dog some slack on his lead, and let him take the initiative, just to see where he goes.
