Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.(excellent, you were genius, and you are still remaining genius)
Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.

Describing my street

There are many wide streets in our city. Streets always contain too many cars. People don't tend to use public transport here. I can't understand why. I have looked outside of our window at the street. There are some trees beside the street, a traffic light, too many cars and their noisy motion. It is possible to be caught in a traffic jam in rush hour.
