Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible.

He who does not bellow the truth when he knows the truth makes himself the accomplice of liars and forgers.

He who knows himself is enlightened.

A room full of great sportsmen is so much better than a room full of actors.

Whenever man begins to doubt himself, he does something so stupid that he is reassured.

The weeks before he died, Mr Mohun Biswas, a journalist of Sikkim Street, St James , Port of Spain, was sacked. He had been ill for some time. In less than a year he had spent more than nine weeks at the Colonial Hospital and convalesced at home for even longer. When the doctor advised him to take a complete rest the 'Trinidad Sentinel' had no choice. It gave Mr Biswas three months' notice and continued, up to the time of his death, to supply him every morning with a free copy of the paper.
