A quotation from Horace

Whene’er you lecture, be concise: the soul
Takes in short maxims, and retains them whole:
But pour in water when the vessel’s filled,
It simply dribbles over and is spilled.
 
[Quidquid praecipies, esto brevis, ut cito dicta
percipiant animi dociles teneantque fideles:
omne supervacuum pleno de pectore manat.]

Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 2, ep. 3 “Art of Poetry [Ars Poetica; To the Pisos],” l. 335ff (2.3.335-337) (19 BC) [tr. Conington (1874)]

With estimates up to 700, another #WarCrime in #Uganda was done #ThisDayInHistory in 1892 by British forces. The #Maxim machine gun slaughtered refugees from King Mwanga's court, clustered on an island in #LakeVictoria, with surviving children shot in the chest as they cowered.
