 I suspect you've seen the following recent news item but, if not, here's a
link.

"The project also recommended that the trust present Shakespeare not as the 'greatest', but as 'part of a community of equal and different writers and artists from around the world'."
I think that's twisting the facts to suit what people want to believe. Now, whom can we turn to for a quotation?
   "The eye sees all, but the mind shows us what we want to see."
   "Humanity must perforce prey on itself,
   Like monsters of the deep."
   "Time's glory is to command contending kings,
   To unmask falsehood, and bring truth to light."
   "But in the end truth will out."
   "Honesty is the best policy. If I lose mine honour, I lose myself."
These are woke pygmies attacking a giant's boots...
   "Scorn thine enemies, those three-inch fools."
