Rule of Law: Government in all of its actions is bound by rules fixed and announced beforehand - rules which make it possible to forsee with fair certianty how authority will use its coercive powers in given circumstances and to plan one's individual affairs on the basis of this knowledge.

The two heaviest parts of my body

I have found that there are two parts of my body that are the heaviest. Neither at the same time but always one. The first is my tongue. It becomes so heavy that even Hercules cannot hold it. The other is my eyelids. If I am sleepy, not even a roman pillar could hold them open. I find that these days I am struggling to hold one or the other. Bless the person who can hold both.
