Appartions, and visions, and legends, oh my!

 

  Apparitions, visions, and intercourses of all kinds between the dead and the living, are the frequent and familiar embellishments of the legends of the Romish church.

-- Bishop Francis Atterbury

Friendship with the world is enmity with God

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfaithful creatures! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 

-- James 4:4

And remember, my sentimental friend that a heart is not judged by how much you love but by how much you are loved by others.

-- Wizard of Oz to the Tin Man, 1939

Walpurgisnacht: Witches and devils and spectres oh my!

 

 

 Now to the Brocken the witches ride;

The stubble is gold and the corn is green;

There is the carnival crew to be seen,

And Squire Urianus will come to preside.

So over the valleys our company floats,

With witches a-farting on stinking old goats.

-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust

Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking

A fool layeth open his folly.

-- Proverbs 13:16 

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.   

-- Proverbs 17:28

A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. 

-- Proverbs 29:11
