Alexander McCall Smith Quotes
What Was Wrong With The Past?" Asked Mama Ramotswe. She Intended The Question Seriously. There Were Too Many People Who Took The View That The Past Was Bad, That We Should Rid Ourselves Of All Traces Of It As Soon As Possible. But The Past Was Not Bad; Some Of It May Have Been Less Than Perfect-- There Had Been Cruelties Then That We Had Done Well To Get Rid Of-- But There Had Also Been Plenty Of Good Things. There Had Been The Old Botswana Ways, The Courtesy And The Kindness; There Had Been The Attitude That You Should Find Time For Other People And Not Always Be In A Desperate Rush; There Had Been The Belief That You Should Listen To Other People, Should Talk To Them, Rather Than Spend All Your Time Fiddling With Your Electronic Gadgets; There Had Been The View That It Was A Good Thing To Sit Under A Tree Sometimes And Look Up At The Sky And Think About Cattle Or Pumpkins Or Non-electric Things Like That.
