True Love enjoys
twenty-twenty vision,
but talks like a myopic.

Justice: permission to peck
a wee bit harder
than we have been pecked.

a Minister approaching

O Lord, my God,
Though I forsake Thee,
Forsake me not,
But guide me as I walk
Through the Valley of Mistrust,
And let the cry of my disbelieving absence
Come unto Thee,
Thou who declared unto Moses
I SHALL BE THERE.

Fabulous quotes!
Every one a gem.
one more, also from the Marginalia:
The tobacco farmers
were Baptists who considered
smoking a sin.
smoke 'em if you got 'em!
Justice: permission to peck
a wee bit harder
than we have been pecked.
I love it.
my dear wife is pregnant, due any day now.

David, et al, As a lawyer, I prefer the client who just wants money over the client who just wants justice any day. The guy who just wants money is much more inclined to show a little grace. That is why sincere Christians are almost always every lawyer's nightmare...they want "justice", which means their pound (at least) of flesh, and that makes a lawsuit nasty and impossible to settle.
