Ere, as in "Able was I ere I saw Elba", which Napoleon didn't say, it's just the axis of a palindromic sentence.

Resilience - the ability to repeatedly bounce back after gaffes, muddleheaded and contradictory actions, and delusions of grandeur. Our present clown PM will need an endless supply of this quality, to avoid going to hell in a handcart and taking us all with him ... :-ss ;)))

Temptation - Oscar famously claimed he could resist everything except this. So he was distracted from his family by the importance of being earnest about Lady Windermere's fan. Some thought he was in two minds, and bisected over it all. :|

Ontaria(ria)rio - the most populous Province in Canada, so renamed after the Expo 67 promotional film 'A Place to Stand' which had this in the chorus



The film won a minor Oscar for the innovative use of multiscreens. This is the HD original, and well worth a watch (and a listen).
