Keys to a church, can't recall which one.
The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. You're up.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

I suck at thinking up questions, so the floor is open.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Alrightly then. Prior to the Crimean War, Tsar Nicholas I of Russia raised tensions with France by refusing to use this salutation when addressing Napoleon III. What was the salutation? Also, bonus points if you can tell me which salutation Nicholas finally did deign to use.

Nope. It's not a salutation unique to France or Russia.

Brother?
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

You're really on a Crimean war bend Kleves.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

President?
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Bingo! The Tsar was upset by the other European monarchs addressing Nappy III as "brother," when he regarded the Emperor as a mere usurper. The Tsar would only go as addressing Napoleon as "my dear friend."

Beeb and Max agitated for it, vox populii did not speak.

Hold a vote if you want to.
