For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. -- Proverbs 2:1-6 %% He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. -- Proverbs 2:7-8 %% Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. --Proverbs 2:11 %% are perverse, who leave the straight paths to walk in dark ways, who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.

Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Esteem her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. She will set a garland of grace on your head and present you with a crown of splendor. -- Proverbs 4:7-9 %% Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. -- Proverbs 4:13 %% Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way. For they cannot sleep till they do evil; they are robbed of slumber till they make someone fall. They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. -- Proverbs 4:14-17 %% The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble. -- Proverbs 4:18-19 %% Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. -- Proverbs 4:23 %% Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. -- Proverbs 4:24 %% Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. -- Proverbs 4:26 %% Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil. -- Proverbs 4:27 %% For the lips of an adulteress drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave. She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths are crooked, but she knows it not. Keep to a path far from her, do not go near the door of her house, lest you give your best strength to others and your years to one who is cruel, lest strangers feast on your wealth and your toil enrich another man's house. -- Proverbs 5:3-10 %% Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another man's wife? For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths. -- Proverbs 5:20-21 %% The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him; the cords of his sin hold him fast. He will die for lack of discipline, led astray by his own great folly. -- Proverbs 5:22-23 %% My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge for another, if you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth, then do this, my son, to free yourself, since you have fallen into your neighbor's hands: Go and humble yourself; press your plea with your neighbor! --Proverbs 6:1-3 %% Go to the ant, you sluggard; Consider its ways and be wise. It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest-- and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man. -- Proverbs 6:6-11 %% A scoundrel and villain, who goes about with a corrupt mouth, who winks with his eye, signals with his feet and motions with his fingers, who plots evil with deceit in his heart-- he always stirs up dissension. Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant; he will suddenly be destroyed--without remedy. -- Proverbs 6:12-15 %% There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers. -- Proverbs 6:16-19 %% Men do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving. Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold, though it costs him all the wealth of his house. But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself. Proverbs 6:30-32 %% Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult; whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse. Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man and he will love you. -- Proverbs 9:7-8 %% Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning. -- Proverbs 9:9 %% The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. -- Proverbs 9:10 %% If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer. -- Proverbs 9:12 %% The LORD does not let the righteous go hungry but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. -- Proverbs 10:3 %% Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth. -- Proverbs 10:4 %% He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son. -- Proverbs 10:5 %% He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray. -- Proverbs 10:17 %% When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise. -- Proverbs 10:19 %% As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so is a sluggard to those who send him. -- Proverbs 10:26 %% A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret. -- Proverbs 11:13 %% For lack of guidance a nation falls, but many advisers make victory sure. -- Proverbs 11:14 %% Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free. -- Proverbs 11:21 %% Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion. -- Proverbs 11:22 %% One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. %% A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. %% Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf. %% He who brings trouble on his family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise. -- Proverbs 11:29 %% The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise. -- Proverbs 11:30 %% If the righteous receive their due on earth, how much more the ungodly and the sinner! -- Proverbs 11:31 %% Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid. -- Proverbs 12:1 %% A wife of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones. %% The plans of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful. -- Proverbs 12:5 %% Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant than pretend to be somebody and have no food. -- Proverbs 12:9 %% A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel. -- Proverbs 12:10 %% He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment. -- Proverbs 12:11 %% From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things as surely as the work of his hands rewards him. %% A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult. -- Proverbs 12:16 %% Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. -- Proverbs 12:18 %% The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied. -- Proverbs 13:4 %% One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth. %% Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice. -- Proverbs 13:10 %% Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow. -- Proverbs 13:11 %% Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. -- Proverbs 13:12 %% A poor man's field may produce abundant food, but injustice sweeps it away. -- Proverbs 13:23 %% He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him. -- Proverbs 13:24 %% There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. -- Proverbs 14:12 %% A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps. -- Proverbs 14:15 %% He who despises his neighbor sins, but blessed is he who is kind to the needy. -- Proverbs 14:21 %% All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. -- Proverbs 14:23 %% He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God. -- Proverbs 14:31 %% Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out. %% Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. -- Proverbs 22:6 %%"I hate quotations.

Gibbons %% "Millions long for immortality who don't know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon." -- D. P. Barron %% Humanity has in the course of time had to endure from the hands of science two great outrages upon its naive self-love. The first was when it realized that our earth was not the center of the universe, but only a speck in a world-system of a magnitude hardly conceivable... The second was when biological research robbed man of his particular privilege of having been specially created, and relegated him to a descent from the animal world. -- Sigmund Freud %% Fanatics have their dreams, wherewith they weave a paradise for a sect." -- Keats %% "You killed Ted, you medieval dickweed!" -- Bill %% "If you took all the sincerity in Hollywood and put it in the navel of a fruit fly, you'd still have room for three carraway seeds and a producer's heart." -- Fred Allen %% "Now, more than ever, it is evident that `good taste' only refers to that which reinforces the status quo." -- Andre Peret %% "Computers are useless; they can only give answers." -- Picasso %% "Until hard evidence is obtained and corroborated, the American people should not be frightened into believing that babies are being bred and eaten, that 50,000 missing children are being murdered in human sacrifices, or that satanists are taking over America's day care centers...

USA Today, March 20, 1990 %% "I am made from the dust of the stars, the oceans flow in my veins." -- Rush, "Presto" %% "Reading legal mush can turn your brain to guacamole!" -- Amiga ROM Kernel Manual %% "I think their experience with us may have helped their contemptuousness; the ignorance they come by naturally." --Chuck McManis (personal communication) %% Next we had Egyptian wars, Greek wars, Roman wars, hideous drenchings of the earth with blood; and we saw the treacheries of the Romans toward the Cartha- ginians, and the sickening spectacle of the massacre of those brave people. Also we saw Caesar invade Britain -- "not that those barbarians had done him any harm, but because he wanted their land, and desired to confer the blessings of civilization upon their widows and orphans," as Satan explained. Next, Christianity was born. Then ages of Europe passed in review before us, and we saw Christianity and Civilization march hand in hand through those ages, "leaving famine and death and desolation in their wake, and other signs of the progress of the human race," as Satan observed. And always we had wars, and more wars, and still other wars -- all over Europe, all over the world. "Sometimes in the private interest of royal families," Satan said, "sometimes to crush a weak nation; but never a war started by the aggressor for any clean purpose -- there is no such war in the history of the race." "Now," said Satan, "you have seen your progress down to the present, and you must confess that it is wonderful -- in its way. We must now exhibit the future." He showed us slaughters more terrible in their destruction of life, more devastating in their engines of war, than any we had seen. "You perceive," he said, "that you have made continual progress. Cain did his murder with a club; the Hebrews did their murders with javelins and swords; the Greeks and Romans added protective armor and the fine arts of military organization and generalship; the Christian has added guns and gunpowder; a few centuries from now he will have so greatly improved the deadly effectiveness of his weapons of slaughter that all men will confess that without Christian civilization war must have remained a poor and trifling thing to the end of time." -- Mark Twain, _The Mysterious Stranger_ %% "Well, there were sixty-eight people there, and sixty-two of them had no more desire to throw a stone than you had." "Satan!" "Oh, it's true. I know your race. It is made up of sheep. It is governed by minorities, seldom or never by majorities. It suppresses its feelings and its beliefs and follows the handful that makes the most noise. Sometimes the noisy handful is right, sometimes wrong; but no matter, the crowd follows it. The vast majority of the race, whether savage or civilized, are secretly kind- hearted and shrink from inflicting pain, but in the presence of the aggressive and pitiless minority they don't dare to assert themselves. Think of it! One kind-hearted creature spies upon another, and sees to it that he loyally helps in iniquities which revolt both of them. Speaking as an expert, I know that ninety-nine out of a hundred of your race were strongly against the killing of witches when that foolishness was first agitated by a handful of pious lunatics in the long ago. And I know that even to-day, after ages of transmitted prejuidice and silly teaching, only one person in twenty puts any real heart into the harrying of a witch. And yet apparently everybody hates witches and wants them killed. Some day a handful will rise up on the other side and make the most noise -- perhaps even a single daring man with a big voice and a determined front will do it -- and in a week all the sheep will wheel and follow him, and witch-hunting will come to a sudden end." -- Mark Twain, _The Mysterious Stranger_ %% "Monarchies, aristocracies, and religions are all based upon that large defect in your race -- the individual's distrust of his neighbor, and his desire, for safety's or comfort's sake, to stand well in his neighbor's eye. These institutions will always remain, and always flourish, and always oppress you, affront you, and degrade you, because you will always be and remain slaves of minorities. There was never a country where the majority of people were in their secret hearts loyal to any of these institutions." -- Mark Twain, _The Mysterious Stranger_ %% Strange, because they are so frankly and hysterically insane -- like all dreams: a God who could make good children as easily as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave his angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice and invented hell -- mouths mercy and invented hell -- mouths Golden Rules, and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites this poor, abused slave to worship him! -- Mark Twain, _The Mysterious Stranger_ %% You have a mongrel perception of humor, nothing more; a multitude of you possess that. This multitude see the comic side of a thousand low-grade and trivial things -- broad incongruities, mainly; grotesqueries, absurdities, evokers of the horse-laugh. The ten thousand high-grade comicalities which exist in the world are sealed from their dull vision. Will a day come when the race will detect the funniness of these juvenilities and laugh at them -- and by laughting at them destroy them? For your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weapon -- laughter. Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution -- these can lift at a colossal humbug -- push it a little -- weaken it a little, century by century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand. You are always fussing and fighting with your other weapons. Do you ever use that one? No; you leave it lying rusting. As a race, do you ever use it at all? No; you lack sense and the courage." -- Mark Twain, _The Mysterious Stranger_ %% "If you do everything, you'll win." -- Lyndon Baines Johnson %% Catch a fly. Put it in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes. This slows him down considerably, so he's easier to handle. While he's in there, make a miniature paper airplane with a wing-span about double that of the fly. Take the cool dude out of the ice-box and super glue his tiny feet onto the upper surface of the paper airplane. As he warms up and revives, he will begin doing that most natural of all fly activities: he will try to fly. If you have not made your little airplane too heavy, the fly's wing beats will be adequate for lift off. However, carrying the added weight quickly tires the fly, so in mid-air, he will stop beating his wings, and the airplane will soar downward. Seeing his plight causes the fly to once again attempt to fly, with the same result. Little bursts of energy as the plane gains altitude, alternated with slow downward glides. A thread super glued to the plane will keep your aerial circus in the same room, or you can take your new pet fly out for a walk, er, fly. -- Gary Benson (inc@fluke.tc.com) %% "Mathematicians stand on eaach other's shoulder, Computer Scientists stand on each other's toes." -- someone on the net (please email attribution), about look&feel lawsuits %% "I am thankful for one leg.
