In the current era of bombast, the idea was (and is) to create a podcast that re-introduces words that have endured through the ages, carrying timeless value and import. (Yes, some opinions and comments are unnecessarily included.)

پس بد مطلق نباشد در جهان
بد به نسبت باشد اين را هم بدان
در زمانه هيچ زهر و قند نيست
كه يكى را پا دگر را بند نيست
مر يكى را پا دگر را پاىبند
مر يكى را زهر و بر ديگر چو قند
زهر مار آن مار را باشد حيات
نسبتش با آدمى باشد ممات
خلق آبى را بود دريا چو باغ
خلق خاكى را بود آن مرگ و داغ
همچنين بر مىشمر اى مرد كار
نسبت اين از يكى كس تا هزار

50 Common Misquotations

Laudato si mi Signore, per sora nostra Morte corporale,
da la quale nullu homo uiuente pò skappare:
guai a quelli ke morrano ne le peccata mortali;
beati quelli ke trouarà ne le Tue sanctissime uoluntati,
ka la morte secunda no 'l farrà male.

Laudate et benedicete mi Signore et rengratiate
e seruiteli cum grande humilitate.

– Francesco di Pietro di Bernardone
