Favorite saying

• "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. --Lincoln's Second Inaugural In the beginning was the Word; and the Word was with God; and the Word was God --John 1:1 I used to be disgusted, Now I try to be amused --Elvis Costello, the Angels Want to Wear my Red Shoes"
