La scarpetta e il Galateo | le pagine dei nostri libri

Il gesto italiano di pulire il fondo del piatto con un pezzo di pane aiutandosi con le mani o con una forchetta si chiama fare la scarpetta. L’origine dell’espressione è incerta, ma sembra che fosse già in uso a Roma nell’Ottocento…

The Golden Day – Kaushal Kishore

 

Amid the shadows of a thousand yesterdays,

And the whispers of a million tomorrows…

There lies a single, bright and precious day,

Untouched by past regrets or future sorrows…

.

Don’t dwell on what has come and gone,

Nor unnecessarily fret about what lies ahead…

For in this fleeting moment, love is drawn,

The present blooms, where joys are bred…

.

Let not the echoes of yesterday bring you pain,

Nor the unknown paths of tomorrow instill fear…

Embrace the now, let it remain your guide,

A time for joy, laughter, and love to reside…

.

In the smiling present, find your inner grace,

Each second a gift, a treasure to embrace…

Don’t let this day slip away, lost in the haze,

For today, my friend, is a precious, golden day…

.

–Kaushal Kishore

Statement from President Joe Biden on S. 138, the “Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Dispute Act” | The White House

Today, I have signed into law S. 138, the “Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Dispute Act” (the “Act”).  I share the Congress’s bipartisan commitment to advancing the human rights of Tibetans and supporting efforts to preserve their distinct linguistic, cultural, and religious heritage.  My Administration will continue to call on the People’s Republic of China to resume direct dialogue, without preconditions, with the Dalai Lama, or his representatives, to seek a settlement that resolves differences and leads to a negotiated agreement on Tibet.  The Act does not change longstanding bipartisan United States policy to recognize the Tibet Autonomous Region and other Tibetan areas of China as part of the People’s Republic of China –- a policy decision that falls within my authority to recognize foreign states and the territorial bounds of such states.
