Best-selling author, philosopher and pilot
75 years ago the Frenchman Antoine de Saint-Exupéry published his book “The Little Prince.” Translated into 140 languages and over 140 million copies sold it is one of the most popular stories of all times. Among the many notable statements he made, the following one is timeless:
“When people become godless, then their governments are clueless, lies abound, debt rises immeasurably, meetings are pointless, enlightenment is brainless, the politicians characterless, Christians prayerless, churches powerless, nations peaceless, morals decadent, fashion shameless, crime rampant, conferences never-ending, prospects bleak.”
As if he had written this yesterday.
