h 6:6-8 There is no definition of fool which you fail to satisfy - Llewelyn Moss to himself in "No Country for Old Men" You are a very fine fellow Mr Baggins and I am very fond of you but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all! -= Gandalf to Bilbo in The Hobbit ....rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe,. May her breasts satisfy you at all times; may you always be intoxicated by her love. Proverbs 5:19 It ain't what you don't know that gets you in trouble, its what you know that ain't so - Will Rogers It is a mistake to think that Christians ought all to be teetotallers; Mohammedanism, not Christianity, is the teetotal religion. Of course it may be the duty of a particular Christian, or of any Christian, at a particular time, to abstain from strong drink, either because he is the sort of man who cannot drink at all without drinking too much or because he is with people who are inclined to drunkenness and must not encourage them by drinking himself. But the whole point is that he is abstaining, for a good reason, from something which he does not condemn and which he likes to see other people enjoying. One of the marks of a certain type of bad man is that he cannot give up a thing himself without wanting every one else to give it up. That is not the Christian way. An individual Christian may see fit to give up all sorts of things for special reasons — marriage, or meat, or beer, or the cinema; but the moment he starts saying the things are bad in themselves, or looking down his nose at other people who do use them, he has taken the wrong turning. — C. S. Lewis, The ‘Cardinal’ Virtues, Mere Christianity For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38 Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands an accounting for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and reverence. I Peter 3:15-16 Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles us let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. - Hebrews 12:1 Some men are sailors, but most are just dreamers held fast by the anchors they forge in their minds, who in their hearts know they'll never sail over deep water to search for a treasure they're afraid they won't find. So, in sheltered harbours they cling to their anchors, bank down the boilers and shut down the steam and wait for the sailors to return with much treasure that will fan the dull embers and fire up their dreams. - Eric Bogle".
