@DouglasKMurray @glennbeck The only guide to a man is his conscience; the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions. It is very imprudent to walk through life without this shield... but with this shield, however the fates may play, we march always in the ranks of honour.

@NatConTalk @DouglasKMurray WW1 and WW2 is mentioned. Not one or another. Both. EU was created in order to never ever have these horrors again. Project was successful and still works fulfilling its initial purpose. Those who came up with it knew history very well. We have to learn it well too.

@DouglasKMurray @spectator Each generation before us had people who were ready to be burned alive for others if needed. Such as Joan of Arc or Mahatma Gandhi. People who could rule well under dire conditions. Like Charlemagne or Winston Churchill. Our generation takes down anyone who dares to stand out.

Mayor of Vilnius @RemiSimasius at Kyiv Investment Forum 2022 discussed social economy as a driver for Kyiv's revival. His main advice is "be faster than others". @EUDiploAcademy gives unique opportunity to learn how international events are organised. Very interesting practice!

@DouglasKMurray @Telegraph "And there is a lesson in this for our institutions, and for institutions and nations around the world: people are loyal to institutions that are loyal to them." This makes a lot of people mourn the Queen. She touched lives of many during these unstable and always changing times.

@jordanbpeterson When in 2022 immediate family told they will survive without me and it's time for me to find what I want most in life and go after that, first thought was they do not love me anymore. Still work in progress. But it was their version of saying put yourself first. And love.

A day "In the Flanders Fields". @collegeofeurope lecture on the WWI, then @EUDiploAcademy trip to Bayernwald trenches, Tyne Cot Cemetery and Hill 60. Remembering the 1914-1918. Stark reminder on how much and how many we lost when #EUdiplomacy didn't work.

Very interesting expert's lecture on EU-Chile relations by @QWeiler to @EUDiploAcademy . Chile is very business oriented country. It has trade agreements with 80% of world's GDP. In #EUdiplomacy Latin Americas become more and more important partner during recent years.
