"The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 13:41-42)

 

 

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. (Romans 12:9)

 

 

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy. (James 3:14-17)

You hypocrites! You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not analyze this present time? And why do you not even on your own initiative judge what is right? (Luke 12:56-57)

 

 

Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:9-14)

Quotes attributed to Abe Lincoln:

 

The [illinois Historic] preservation agency has added a page to its Web site that exposes famous sayings Lincoln never made. Among them:

 

-- "To sin by silence, when they should protest, makes cowards of men."

 

-- "There's no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy. There's nothing good in war except its ending."

 

-- "The strength of the nation lies in the homes of its people."

 

And then there's this one: "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time."

They're all good "quotes", though.

The hypocrite's crime is that he bears false witness against himself. What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one.

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. The bamboozle has captured us. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. ~ Carl Sagan

 

 

Man seeks to escape himself in myth, and does so by any means at his disposal. Drugs, alcohol, or lies. Unable to withdraw into himself, he disguises himself. Lies and inaccuracy give him a few moments of comfort. ~ Jean Cocteau

To spare oneself from grief at all cost can be achieved only at the price of total detachment, which excludes the ability to experience happiness ~ Erich Fromm

 

 

To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else.

-RO upon the Ole Miss one point win over #4 ranked Florida.

 

I would rather a ranked SEC team beat Georgia (my boys) than an unranked Pac 10 or ACC team. Bama came to play, they played hard, they played to win, and Georgia let inexperience eat of penalties. We just didn't deserve to win. If your team can't make it, pull for your conference. Unless it's Florida.

 

- RO, one minute or so left in the much anticipated Bama @ UGA game.

Truth is my God. Nonviolence is my way of realizing Him. ~ Mohandas Gandhi
