Treat the other man's faith gently: it is all he has to believe with.


Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. -- Hebrews

I always prefer to believe the best of everybody - it saves so much trouble.

Bid, then, the tender light of faith to shine
By which alone the mortal heart is led
Unto the thinking of the thought divine.

Don't repay evil for evil. Don't retaliate when people say unkind things about you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God wnats you to do, and He will bless you for it.
1 Peter 3:9

[janecallanan]

"Youbeen messin' wif de bees?" Oblio, in THE POINT

[kenmar]

Looking back
At things I said
I find
That what I had said
I meant
Was not what I had meant
At all.
Things change so fast
I wonder
If it is not the thing that changed
But me.
After all when you say
Something new
Do you really say anything more
Than old
Things said new?

Election Promises ?????

Mae West In "I'm No Angel"

Carnival Barker: "Miss Tira, the vision of supreme pulchritude ... the only show in town where the tickets are made of asbestos."

Man: "I don't suppose you believe in marriage, do you?"
Tira: "Only as a last resort. Ah, what do you do for a living?"
Man: "Sort of a politician ..."
Tira: "I don't like work either ..."

Tira: "I had to shoot a lion once."
Lady: "Really? Was he mad?"
Tira: "Well he wasn't exactly pleased about it."

Man: "You've been awfully kind ... I'll never forget you."
Tira: "No one ever does."

Man: "Do you mind if I get personal?"
Tira: "Go right ahead. I don't mind if you get familiar ..."

Man: "You were wonderful tonight."
Tira: "I'm always wonderful at night."
Man: "Tonight I thought you were especially good."
Tira: "When I'm good I'm very good, but when I'm bad I'm better."

Man: "If I could only trust you ..."
Tira: "You can ... hundreds have."

Man: "I'm crazy about you."
Tira: "I did my best to make you that way."

Man: "What are you thinking about?"
Tira" "Same thing you are ..."

Jane: What I wouldn't give to be Mae West for a week!
