   The commonest form of forgetfulness, I suppose, occurs in the matter of posting letters. So common is it that I am always reluctant to trust a departing visitor to post an important letter.

These allusions were effective for conveying complex messages to his associates, because, in his day, business people could make such allusions with every expectation of being understood.

  I have seen a boy of two years old, who had been kept in London, taken out for the first time to walk in green country. The season was winter, and everything was wet and muddy.

  Over the past 20 years I have had the opportunity to observe the Dalai Lama in a variety of settings ― at his home in India, during visits to other countries, sitting in small intimate gatherings or speaking before tens of thousands.
