Rob Amaral Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 "The beginning of Wisdom is Fear of the Lord" (some guy in the OT) "Forgive them father, for they do not know what they are doing" (which was probably actually said=="Forgive 'em Dad, they're too stupid to know what is going on..."). (Jazzed-up by some English Bible interpreters?). The Man/JC "Never have so few done so much for so many" (Or something like that). I.E. You gotta shed blood to protect the family. (Churchill re: RAF during Battle of Britain) "..It's a friggin' meat-grinder" (Uncle Eddie re: Viet Nam). (Uncle Eddie was a Peleliu USMC squad leader as well as an OKI squad leader). WW2. "Never Assume Anything" me---after all these years doing what I do. "The Excellence of the Gift of Love" quote from the Bible (NT). Love is patient, kind, etc. My 2 cents.
