Money...
It can buy a House, but not a Home
It can buy a Bed, but not Sleep
It can buy a Clock, but not Time
It can buy a Book, but not Knowledge
It can buy you Status, But not Respect
It can buy you Medicine, but not Health
It can buy you Blood, but not Life
It can buy you Sex, but not Love
So you see money isn't everything -- and it often causes much pain and
suffering. I tell you this because I am your Friend; and, as your Friend, I
want to take away your pain and suffering. Send me all your money today and I
will suffer for you (Cash only, please.). A truer Friend then me you will never
find !!!
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex was staring up at the
large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. It was covered with names
...and small American flags were mounted on either side of it.
The seven-year-old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the
pastor walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, "Good morning, Alex."
"Good morning," replied the young man -- still focused on the plaque.
"What is this?" Alex asked.
"Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in
the service.
"Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque.
Little Alex's voice was trembling .. and barely audible ... when he
asked, "Which service? ... the 8:30 .... or the 11:00?"
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of
man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Edmund Burke
Never despair; but if you do, work on in despair.
Edmund Burke
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.
And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem
those who think alike than those who think differently.
Friedrich Nietzsche
