A former Gurkha soldier fought off a mugger in spite of having a 6in knife blade jammed into his arm – then managed to grab hold of his attacker for 15 minutes while he waited for the police to arrive. Shop owner Taitex Phlamachha had just been to a cashpoint with his wife when he was pushed up against a wall and told to ‘hand over the money’ or get stabbed. Mr Phlamachha, 38, from Maidstone, Kent, a Gurkha with Maidstone's 36 Engineers for 13 years, said: ‘I tried to warn him, “Don’t mess with Gurkhas. We’re trained to fight.” But he didn’t listen.’

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
