"Welcome, child," he said.
"Aslan," said Lucy, "you're bigger."

"The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing. But in our culture, we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture."

Hmm, good one, All.  And Teddy Roosevelt's, Psalm119.

Sapphire, I heard that on on CarTalk one Saturday morning.  Don't know who said it, though.



My alltime, favorite, nonbiblical quote:

Those are my principles.  If you don't like it, I have others.

Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation. It is better to be alone than in bad company.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

We come closest to God at our lowest moments. It's easiest to hear God when you are stripped of pride and arrogance, when you have nothing to rely on except God. It's pretty painful to get to that point, but when you do, God is there.

"And for us, this is the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after.  But for them it was only the begining of the real story.  All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and title page: now at last they were begining Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before."

"God Himself could not sink this ship!"

A minor officer speaking to a passenger in 1912, onboard the Titanic.

It is, unfortunately, one of the most arrogant and foolish utterings by anyone in the past century.  I think of it when someone speaks of how enlightened and superior man has become over the years.

Personally, Cheat Talk is my favorite! The Cheat is the best character ever! I LOVE the Cheat! I love any of the SBE with the cheat in it. Privileges!

(dragon), Sibbie, and you HAVE to check out the "Everybody to the Limit" song (fhqwagads sp???).  Homestar and Strong Bad are my pumpkins for Halloween!!!!!!!!!!  Great, clean, funny website, and just a good place to cheer up!

The best the one is the Cheat is not dead:

I got mad at the Cheat,
For screwing up the jumble caper
I hope to don’t see his name in the paper
In the Obituarieeeeeeeees!
Cause that would mean he’s dead!
Oh, the Cheat in not dead!
Oh, yeah, the Cheat in not dead!
the Cheat in not dead!
Oh, yeah, the Cheat in not dead!
the Cheat in not dead!
Oh, yeah, the Cheat in not dead!
the Cheat in not dead!
Oh, yeah, the Cheat in not dead!
Just da claps, just the claps, just the da claps, just da claps.

Click on the boombox after the "sibbie" cartoon is over, that will show you the correct spelling Fhqwhgads.

oh I know! theres always something at the ends of the cartoons that you can click on.  Or if you wait around 10 or 15 seconds, something else happens (see "the process").  I love the Cheat is not dead song! If you click on something after that cartoon too, it goes back to Strong Mad and Strong Sad still clapping.  I still love:
"Dangeresque 2!!! This time, it's not Dangeresque 1!!!" (lol, see Stunt Double)
