“This Is My Song” is a hymn that was written by Lloyd Stone in 1934, with music composed by Jean Sibelius, a Finnish composer. The hymn was originally titled “A Song of Peace” and was written during a time of global unrest, just before World War II. Lloyd Stone was an American minister, and he wrote the lyrics to express his desire for peace and unity among nations.
The hymn gained popularity for its message of peace and hope during a turbulent period in world history. Over the years, it has been included in various hymnals and sung in churches and gatherings around the world. The combination of Stone’s heartfelt lyrics and Sibelius’s stirring music has made it a beloved hymn that continues to be sung to this day. The hymn is often used in interfaith and ecumenical settings to promote the idea of peace among all nations and people.
“Stand up for your friends especially when they’re right. There is every reason in the world to do so but one is not obvious — although perhaps it should be — and it’s this: it might be the only chance you get to show them how much they mean to you if you don’t seize this opportunity whenever it comes along.
To save the truth of your feelings for their funeral or obituaries it’s not much use to anyone then but if you defend if you if you defend a friend while they’re alive you might just give them the slightest intimation of how much you value them and love them and how much other people love them too…”

Sir Roger Scruton, a British philosopher, writer, and commentator, was knighted in 2016 for his services to philosophy, teaching, and public education. His knighthood was in recognition of his significant contributions to philosophy and his dedication to fostering public understanding of important philosophical and cultural issues.
Scruton was a prolific author and philosopher who wrote extensively on a wide range of topics, including aesthetics, ethics, politics, and culture. He published numerous books and articles that engaged with important philosophical questions and contributed to the broader intellectual discourse.
In addition to his scholarly work, Scruton was known for his efforts to make philosophy and conservative thought more accessible to the general public. He often participated in public debates, wrote for popular publications, and appeared in various media outlets to discuss and defend his conservative views.
While Scruton’s knighthood was awarded primarily for his contributions to philosophy and education, it also acknowledged his role as a public intellectual who played a significant part in shaping public discourse on important issues in the United Kingdom and beyond.
A conversation with Bjorn Lomborg, a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, the president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, and one of the foremost climate experts in the world today. His new book — “False Alarm: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet” — is an argument for treating climate as a serious problem but not an extinction-level event requiring such severe and drastic steps as rewiring a large part of the culture and the economy.
