Newer truisms will be added to the top coming first (I call these "Herrinisms").

It's you who is the other god and your flesh is the idol you adore.
If you describe yourself as "spiritual, but not religious" you fool only yourself. Your religion is "you" and the spirit you feel may just be from your unknown god who deceives you at every turn.
Blaming Satan for your sins is cowardly. He merely puts the pleasures out there, and like a glutton, you grab because your god demands satisfaction.
Fasting assists in praying because you are not only demonstrating sincerity, but your mind is more focused on God than on yourself.
People dress and do things to look cool, but there is a fine line between cool and stupid!

For the smart Alec's who propose that everything came from the Big Bang, where did the space to put it in come from?
If the prayers you pray always benefit yourself, it may be to your self to whom you're praying.

Calling a person "a bigot" without valid reasons is the ultimate bigotry.
It's great if you love your enemies, but for your own safety you can love them from afar.
Young people are not scientists. They don't "experiment" with drugs. If they use them they are weak people who are substance abusers. Doing insane things leads to insanity.
As a non-recovered right wing Christian, I'm accused of having so many phobias that those loving tolerant liberal people hate my guts.
Those who provoke to violence are more guilty than those who strike because it's a premeditated plan.
If programmers can make life-like images out of ones and zeros, why can't an Almighty God recreate in his image using just zero?
Apparently truth resides in only those who lie the best and have the capacity to lead the herd over the cliff; they not even fearing the plunge which soon shall kill them.
I delivered my old person to God and have joy in my post-partem accession!
If we are deceived by what goes wrong, we fail to appreciate what goes right. When we are in despair, a light does shine, but for it to be seen, we must gaze in that direction.
Problems are not challenges. Problems are chaos trying to allude order.
Trying is failing, doing is accomplishing and obtaining is succeeding!
Why does the term "Holy Ghost" scare people? Is it because they are afraid of ghosts... or is it because they fear Jesus?
The degree of confidence (C) one has is Faith (F) minus Doubt (D) Divided by Faith (F) ; C=(F-D) /F
"I think therefore I am" means many who vote are not!
If marriages were taken as seriously as weddings, there would be no divorces. If marriages were taken as seriously as funerals, marriages would never die.
There is nothing which feels better than sex you think until the shoes come off and those athlete feet are scratched. Don't get married, just wear patent leather shoes.
When wrought in despair it's hope which repairs.
When it's all said and done then it has just all started. Saying and doing is just a prelude to the eternal things to come.
Don't understand inertia and momentum? Hit a tree at 100 mph. You'll understand in a nanosecond! Don't know what a nanosecond is? Hit a tree and find out! It's the interval of time between when your face hits the tree and your face becomes the tree! You'll have that new learned knowledge for eternity. Want to know how long eternity is? Hit that tree at 100 mph and find out.
The confused are those who practice loathing when the command was to be loving. Is it because of the hard of hearing or the hard of living?
To rid your throat of that tickle quit swallowing what the jesters spew.
Thinking I'm right, I'm right, I'm right is three cheers for your own wrongness!
Secret to a long life: Don't do things which will kill you. Secret to eternal life: Follow the One who will save you from him who will kill you!
On special investigation of the facts I find that with time they can be twisted until truth can no longer be recognized.
"Danger" is politicians who actually believe what they say!
When you find yourself at the end of your rope, grab hold of the knotted end because sometimes there is safety in what appears to be obstacles.
It's charity when people give of their own volition. It's taxes when force is used and it's selfish socialism when others legislate that you be charitable for them!
Many claim faith in God, but deny the ultimate test of faith: The first words God said Is "It's all my doing!", and people respond "God, you couldn't have done that; Chance did!" With that faith in Chance other gods were born!"
Those who self assess of their innocence easily overlook their own guilt.
Wanting to keep my family safe is not hatred. Hatred is when others detest that I want to keep my family safe!
If I'm going to have a religion it will be the best. It's one with the greatest claims! How about this one: "I created everything and I can save everyone... and it's all for free. No work required!" What other god can match that?
You by yourself has the value of a small stack of firewood, but you empowered by God can be a lightning bolt!
Grudges are the smudges you hold against another which they can't clean because of your silence.
It's not Muslims that are the problem; it's Islam. Christianity grew because Christians were persecuted. Islam grew by persecution. Christianity is a choice; Islam is a demand. Christians are to serve. Muslims seek to rule. Christians goal is to love everyone; Islams is to love 72 virgins. And why do they not fit in?
What scripture says that "hatred" of another is a legitimate consequence of the sin which you said that you have forgiven?
Pretty people who say dirty words reveal their ugly inside.
Jesus' purpose was not to remove hunger from the stomach, but destitution from the soul!
So that the color black is not an issue, blacks should quit pointing out their differences and focus on their sameness!
For those who commit the crimes, the glove always fits.
Never be anxious because the end is near. You're dead center between what has been and what is to come.
The putrid air surrounding those who never stink is their own sweet smell of pride.
Don't be fooled by the term "for medical reasons" because millions of babies have died "for the health of the mother". It's not mean-spirited because the courts have never defined what are valid "medical reasons", and "for the health of the mother" has been misconstrued as to be "the convenience of the mother". In California "health reasons" are "to satisfy the self". Words mean things, but words, like children, can be abused!
You can't be against "thought crimes" and be thin skinned. That's "doublethink". Many people are great with criticism of others, but when something is about them is ridiculed, they go spastic.
Those with experience don't need to click on the partially obscured picture to see the rest of the photo where nothing amazing ever exists!
Drug users need released from the prison in which they have self incarcerated.
"Be your way" and "Walk God's way" are the dichotomies of life.
Snow is merely a way to transport sunshine through the clouds. Just depends on how you look at it.
God doesn't measure stature by how tall you stand; it's how upright you are! He doesn't measure size by your girth; it's how wide is your heart. He doesn't measure love in how great are your feelings; it's how you live for him!
Because you wish something is true makes you no more than a child who believes in Santa. People argue against facts in favor of their own myth. They are either children or fools.
Those who side with ignorance are killed by bliss. Those who face truth are saved by wisdom.
Selfish people twist facts to suit their irrational thought.
The only grudge that I have is against people who hold grudges. Grudges are a vicious way of destroying ones livelihood.
That feeling you have inside when others don't cater to you, you don't get your way or when you perceive that you have been wronged: that's others failing to worship your idol and then your Self feels hate! Without forgiveness love cannot be and without love you can't be with God.
Grudges are the stones which break the wings of a dove, forgiveness is the splint that starts the healing, but love is the nourishment which restores the peace which the dove represents.
Realistic goals when met is accomplishment. Stopping one step short of the finish line is failing. Trying to finish is the admission of failure. Only by crossing the finish line is success!
When a person is threatened by another, their own self is in jeopardy. Rather than be removed from their pedestal, they destroy the threat. Hate is the chosen weapon of mass destruction.
Standing on holy ground shooting flames of discord may burn the person whose shooting.
When one enunciates the word "passion" without saying it with passion seems incompassionate!
Good will prevail. Evil will fail.
Applicable to everyone, the list of people who you love is endless, but the list of those who love you is really short; and life is supposed to be fair! Even the mathematics don't add up.
Snow is little more than rain with the love removed.
You become what you dwell upon, not in a physical sense, but it becomes your reality.
Endeavoring to win an argument by shouting epithets is no more than a hissy fit. It may work for children, but adults can do better than that!
People who continue conversations with the expression "having said that..." need to get a life! Having said that... I'm going to get on with my life!
It's a sorry thing when the preacher is as bad as the flock.
Crawling through the birth canal does not perform a magical transformation. It's a child within and still is as it emerges.

It's OK to be an atheist. Someone has to be fuel for the fire. Or do they?
If you don't learn from history then you deserve your future!
Christians sometimes doubt that there is a God. Atheists sometimes fear that God is! Christians are safe in their doubt, but atheists are damned by not heeding their fear.
Sunday and church; a decision to make: Shall I acclimate myself for eternity or remain in tune with the temporal? Church is training for an eternity of worship.
Understanding is comprehension of the words. Discernment is understanding the motives behind what's written.
I missed the part in the Bible which says "Jesus is all about you."Fill me in! Where do people get that notion?
If we all lived like all the words we post the world would be a better place and Satan would be jobless!
Once the downhill slide starts there remains one way to stop it. Get the will power out of the garage, tie it to your waist and let it pull you back up hill. There is no easy way of sliding uphill so forget it and do what you need to do.
Biggest differences between Christianity, Communism and Islam: Christians baptize with water at your rebirth. The others baptize with blood at your death!
People saying bad things have little effect on those who can't hear. Therefore, those who hear should not listen!
You actually can fit a square peg in a round hole. It just takes a little more work or using intelligence to select the right sizes.
When in doubt what to do? Just sit there in doubt. It's not fulfilling, but it's actually quite comfortable!
The "freedom to bear arms" implies that there exists a "freedom not to bear arms". However, the arms we are free to bear protects those whose freedom is not to bear. Those who are free to bear arms don't have a way of protecting their own freedom not to bear arms!
Those prideful men who think they understand God can't, because God is beyond human understanding!
He's NOT "God as you understand him"; he's "God as you stand under him!"
Just because we refrain from speaking words which offend, doesn't mean that the easily offended won't take offense.
The absence of "anything" is "nothing". "Nothing" is what contains "everything" in the universe. Therefore, "nothing" is "something" because it's there and it's real! Explaining where "something" comes from lies in two choices: God or Chance. After we argue where "everything" comes from then we can tackle from whence "nothing" came!
It has been said "I think, therefore I am". If that's what you think, try questioning yourself. If you answer, you're not. You're just crazy.
That voice you hear in your mind... no one's there! Quit sharing what he says with others.
If "love conquers all" we're about to lose the earth to alien life!
Those with the least credentials always have the strongest opinion, the most to say and say it without invitation.
God gave old people health problems so we have something to talk about. Some must have severe health problems because their mouth is terminal!
A corrupt church is as bad as a renegade government!
The terms "hope and pray" seems odd! Hope is having confidence in what one believes and if the confidence is there, praying for the desired outcome seems to show doubt.
Heroes are determined by who wins the war.
Although those who kill abortion providers are misguided, their crime pales in comparison to those who're abortion zealots!
We're in a new era. Each word uttered without deep thought may be the one which deeply buries a person. People can be offended by the benign. "I see!" as a rhetorical response can offend even the blind.
Fighting crime with up-raised arms is suicidal unless it's God to whom they're raised.
Gossip is the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.
One lacking it and the other having it is the recipe for failure. It's commitment.
It's a true leader who can destroy the enemy who has yet to be defined by those who govern in weakness!
Islamic church growth is a simple program. No need to have altar calls or go door to door and pass out Bibles. Simply present the options: It's not heaven or hell! It's merely convert, be taxed outrageously or die. Their concept of grace is the outrageous.
People measure love by emotional attraction. For shallow people it's merely a feeling. True love is climbing the mountain of dissension, but holding firm to solid ground. Love is not a feeling... it's an obligation. Like climbing a mountain, love is hard work!
Those who paint themselves into the corner with the shades of iniquity may have a locked door behind them. There are two ways out: The obvious is to knock on the door and tell the one who answers of the color of your paint whereof you're soiled. He'll wipe that spot clean and let you in! The route most taken is to walk through the paint, but on the backs of others, leaving black footprints on the clean shirts of your stepping stones. However, choosing the latter route opens one up to falling on his face. Those who choose the route most taken will suffer the further fate of smearing the paint until one is blackened all over.
Psychology is the assignment of compound words to mental, emotional and spiritual shortcomings, the facade of being able to help irrational and crazy people, and frankly, a modern religion under the guise of science.By their own admission there is no proof that it has ever helped anyone and that it is a religion. Those who place their trust in the priests of psychology are destined for disappointment because those who "study the soul" can never fill what ails the soul: spiritual emptiness.
The millennial generation expects the rewards of hard work without the effort it takes to make it happen. They want things now and plastic money is the synthetic genie who provides every wish!
Those with the least experience and education always seem to have the strongest opinion be cause their knowledge base is too limited to dispute their own fictions.
Don't blame irrational people for their irrational thinking. They would interpret the blame as praise.
On the Day of Pentecost everyone was listening to the band. slurping dry wine and dancing merrily. When they all were primed by the music, inebriated by the wine and dancing together, there came a roar as a mighty wind and as with fire. They all were filled with smoke and spoke with cursing tongues. Well not quite the way it happened, but that seems to be the direction which churches are heading, and rather than the Holy Spirit, they just may get the church destroyed with the winds of change and the fires of pleasure!
Christians were in one accord when the Holy Spirit came on them. Why are churches dead? Because people are not in harmony with one another. Spiteful and hateful people are out of harmony with the faithful, preventing the Holy Spirit from visiting.
Pigs are faithful friends! They eat whatever you hold out right from your hand. If you poke them too hard though, too many times, they're hurt and begin to squeal. The best thing to do with a pig is to be friendly! They like that.
You can't rely on anyone, but yourself, and sometimes your self screws you.
If you think everything goes wrong, you've never been more wrong.
Rather than which candidate will give the most freebies, you'd better vote for the one who will keep us the most free! The biggest threat to freedom is ISIS. Their god requires blood to appease.
I have noticed that even some who claim sanity are enthralled by Bernie Sanders. Socialism is utopia for those so enthralled, until they serve no purpose. For those who have no use for it, it's tyranny because there are two roads for socialism: One is walking voluntarily to what will become their death; the other being dragged to it if you disagree with the evil that it is! Only fools submit voluntarily and it's deception which is their insanity!
Good motto: "Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see." Good people and your own eyes will lie to you.
In choosing sides for a civil nation, is it order and regulation enforced with police, or is it anarchy from those with a selfish and criminal motives? Cops Lives Matter!
Capitalism bakes the pie, socialism sneaks the pie from the baker, and communism takes the house and the pie and kills the baker if he resists.
For those who seek truth it cannot be had from the mouth of newscasters, psychologists, politicians, the government, astrologists, rock stars, actors or other liars. Truth comes from one place; where most fail to seek it!
"Hard worker" describes both those who use their brawn and those who brain to accomplish difficult objectives.
Some have seen Lilith. Her trills yet scream in one's ears. The Queen of Heaven sits on the branches of the forbidden tree. Beware her austere eyes which encumber those who gaze into them. The screech owl slowly bats it's mesmerizing eyes to stun those who would look into them.
Using the word "trust" in reference to Jesus and Hillary is just incomprehensible!
Since I "am", I thought I would think, but thought better of it!
Those who feel badly because of what they've done, cover it by making others feel badly in their place.
It's not a lie if Hillary says it.
Funsters, when the parade is over, become gonesters.
Sometimes the prettiest fruit is so disappointing when the meat around the heart is so full of seeds. On the other hand the ugliest tomato is an Epicurean delight!
As the crippled man was walking alone he was grateful that he could walk and knew he was not truly alone.
Some wear a "Sunday face" because it's Sunday they are happy to face.
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God..." And I thought I was the only one, as others believe they're not one!
Blaming others for one's own shortcomings neither lessens the guilt nor absolves one from responsibility.
When dancing it takes two to tango. If the footwork gets entangled, it could be both who miss-stepped, but usually one blames the other. It's wisest never to tango with those with large feet nor tango yourself if you lack any rhythm.
Where did the water come from and dissipated to when the world was flooded? Since the hydrologic cycle is a closed system, the water came from hidden places and returned to the same. That reservoir is beneath the surface.
The only proof in the cosmos is that "it" just "is". Any theory beyond that is a religion requiring great faith. "Being" is God's existence because he calls himself "I Am"! Therefore, since the universe "Is" it is a creation of "I Am"!
Those who feel guilty for what they've done mask their stress by pinning it on others.
Cordial means friendly. Can one be cordial and not be friends? It seems to me that mere cordiality is a friendly facade.
If anyone believes they are always right read this: After my Dad died I was gong through his papers. I was reading a essay which I thought Dad had written. What was there made me ashamed of him! I felt terrible as I continued to read. I couldn't believe my Dad had such bad ideas! After reading it to the end I saw that it was my essay from my college years. I had signed it. Now it's in the garbage where where most ideas from young people belong! Intelligence must be tempered by charity. Policies must be based on reality. We all must be fair because, yes, it's possible that just maybe we too are subject to delusion.
Nothing is free! "Freedom" is self-sufficiency. "Receiving" is slavery because the cost of things is your liberty. The best gift a government can give is its absence.
Women who show their cleavage only do it to titillate.
What God has diligently worked so patiently to grow, man, as a pawn of Satan, can wreak havoc on the crop. Be charitable in your relations with others because he may be the one who would stand beside you at any cost!
Chomping food isn't aerobic enough exercise to strengthen the heart. One must be active enough to feel the heart pounding. Of course the guilt of overeating may make it pound, but it must pound in unison with your feet! God wants his Spirit to have a proper temple. Building a temple requires not only spiritual work, but burning off the flesh as well.
GODISNOWHERE. Which is it?
If you're my friend, then God expects me to lay down my life for you. If an ISIS sniper was aimed toward you, and you're my friend, I believe that I would step in an take your bullet. I would win either way. Either heaven would be my new home or God would save my life. Either way, that's better than my friend taking the bullet. Friend... "I've got your back!"
You can't be happy. God knows your heart. A heart without compassion is ashen. Having a hard heart without obeying God is hard to part. If there is little joy the path to compassion is to love with a passion!
In the Old Testament The Word who was to become incarnate Jesus was referred to as "the angel of God". That's who rolled back the stone at the tomb! Jesus just "appeared" to the eleven apostles in a room whose door was locked. Walls could not contain him! Jesus merely got up from where he laid dead before, walked out of the tomb as if it wasn't there, and rolled back his own stone; not that he could get out, but to show us the tomb was empty! No... he didn't need Angels to free him, and neither do we! Jesus frees and Jesus saves because he still lives!
I always liked Paul Harvey: When telling his story, there was always "page 2", his signature statement. In every story there is a "page 2" and the interesting part is that "page 2" is a more interesting and provocative story than is "page 1". Always anxiously await for the climax.
It's time to go to church and rejoice! Why should we? It's a sanctuary from hate, anger, revenge, animosity, and grudges. I love church because it's "Holy Ground" and that's where all things holy should be. If we don't fit the model, then perhaps the Model we should do better to emulate. My prayer is that we all should be what Jesus wants us to be!
Happy Christian: Those who love. Unhappy Christian: Those who loathe. The difference between the two is mostly the "th"; "the hate"!
I always liked Paul Harvey: When telling his story, there was always "page 2", his signature statement. In every story there is a "page 2" and the interesting part is that "page 2" is a more interesting and provocative story than is "page 1". Always anxiously await for the climax. Page 2 is it!

No... he didn't need Angels to save him, and neither do we! Jesus saves and Jesus lives!
Superhero Story: Everybody has their kryptonite, but their element is a secret. The devil knows where it's stored and how to use it, but God has it surrounded by Seraphim.
For people who start statements with "to be honest", are what they say normally not?
People won't "go to hell" because that implies a possible return trip. They pack their baggage and reside there as their permanent home! That's scarier than a Muslim with a machete!It's necessary to enjoy friendship because the greatest part of "en-joy" is "joy". Without friends to befriend you, it's as wood stacked without a match. Sitting around a cold campfire is much the same as being around people without joy.
Being "born-again" is the moment in time that we've had enough of doing what pleasures us, and decide to do what pleases God!
When I look into the eyes of a beautiful woman who's eyes are shuttered by fluttering lashes, what lies within the depths of her heart only she knows, but the gamble that more good is there than evil, is high odds.
I always look forward to church... It's a sanctuary from dissension!!!
Blended families are a horrible consequence of people failing. Not that they aren't loved, but because evil turns on the blender.
Temptation is not sin. It's a monkey wrench from the devil's tool box. He used it on Jesus and Jesus made him the monkey! If we blame others for being tempted, we are throwing the monkey wrench back at Jesus.
O'Reilly just said that he'd vote for a "secular Muslim". That's an oxymoron! No one can be religious and not religious at the same time. A Muslim who is secular is a no more than a middle easterner who is not religious. I couldn't vote for an atheist of any nationally nor any Muslim. Happy to be politically incorrect!
Sometimes the best way to put out a fire is just to let the embers glow until they're out of fuel.
For God so loved the world that he ignores all our bad attitudes, our pompous behaviors, our dislike for others, our hard hearts, our mean spirit, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him in spite of their lack of love, may have everlasting life. (Now that would be more than grace, but he does require love!)
There are no such things as Newton's Laws, Boyle's Law, and the many others. They are all God's Laws in place before deficient humans ever explained them!
The more a person tries to resolve conflict Murphy's Law is that there will be more conflict. God's Law is that's a chance you have to take!
What's wrong with our nation is that some think they're entitled to the things they're not, and others would have the struggling few pay for the slothfulness for the masses. The umbrella should cover those incapable, but because people are poor doesn't make them incapable.
Why can't we all just get along? Isn't that what God wants most for us? What stands in the way? Pride. That's the devil's wares.
The most frightening feeling is thinking you can only depend on yourself, but knowing that you alone can't make it!
What's wrong with our nation is that some think they're entitled to the things they're not, and others would have the struggling few pay for the slothfulness for the masses.
Beauty can't be measured. Saying a woman "is beautiful" is much like saying "this water is good". Both depend on how thirsty you are!
Going to church without loving is like eating dry cereal without milk! Sitting in a pew without forgiving is like using the restroom without toilet paper. You clear your bowels, but some filth remains.
Truth is harder to face than lies because Satan's standards of performance are easier.
My thoughts sometimes outrun my mind causing me to err as my synapses misfire.
A fool is a person who worships things that cannot make him eternal.
Because we don't accept Jesus doesn't mean that it's not him that knocks.
There is no ulcer more painful than a thorn wound from a friend.
Friends, like love, is forever because to be a friend requires love!
Balanced people are the same when they are alone as when they have company.
When I'm down, the Lord lifts me up! James 4:9 "Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up."
I've found that people try to communicate through messaging and utterly fail to do so effectively. People's livelihoods depend on being able to ask and respond with ample time, inflection, facts, explanations and comprehension. In person is the only way to avoid misconceived notions.
The Pope has no authority to annul a marriage, according to the Bible: Matthew 19:6 "Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder".Churches are to stay out of the ending of marriages because their role is to ordain God's institutions and protect them.
If one can't depend on friends for friendship, who can they count on? A friend never assumes. A friend is fair. A friend gives the benefit of the doubt. A friend is friendly!
Know-it-alls seem to have the least education and experience. Learning must come from their intuition.
Ignorance is a condition unknown only to those who have it.
I don't have the time nor desire to argue with ignorant people and they need to focus on asking questions of those who know so that they can become more than part of the zombie herd!
"Friends are forever." is true, but if forever ends, maybe that's not friends.
For the one or two who still love me until the end, those obnoxious idiosyncrasies which you hate so bad, will be sorely missed! My Mom talked really really loud to the point of embarrassment in public. What I wouldn't give to hear her speak now!
The things NASA spent billions to see on Mars, when one squints just right, the clouds overhead manifest so much more!
If you have everything, you don't need anything because you've got it all!
It's strange that the Holy Spirit comes when the music becomes reverent. Being holy is not rubbing a bottle. The Spirit is always there waiting on Christians to be loving and humble.
Your not an atheist because you fail to believe; you are a potential Christian waiting for truth to reveal itself!
When all is said and done, there is nothing more to say or do.Leaving some things unsaid, and other things not done, leaves something later to say and things later to do!
God answers prayer if those who seek divine assistance are not frivolous in their bequests.
Those who condemn Christians for being tempted, how would they have treated Jesus after 40 days of it?
Temptation is not sin, but the biggest stone is the one people throw at Christians who are tempted.
My fidelity is a covenant with God and I don't need a anyone else to police it.
Engineering is "thinking outside the box". Philosophy is thinking about what's "in the box", and those confused are still trying to find the box!
A dying rodent should have known: gullible rats are those who fail to realize that poison can come in pretty bottles.
Christ forgives those who fail him. Those who are Christians are called to be Christlike, but somewhere the circuit gets a short and the mercy light turns off.
When two are at odds it's worlds colliding. When two make peace the odds are that the blow will be cushioned by love.
The only thing standing in the way of peace is the inability to reconcile.
Everybody is not college material. Rather than teaching those who can't be taught, perhaps the money could be better spent growing them some more gray matter in petri dishes.
Those who ask "What's in it for me?" are those whose help we don't need.
The best desire is that our desire be lessened.
Having mud thrown at you isn't so bad if it improves anything about you.
For those who seek glory in the church what they seek is what they get and nothing more.
If we praise in privacy our prayer will resonate through the heavens.
It's better to be a significant friend of one than have many friends to whom you're insignificant.
The Boy Scouts is now an organization where men are the scouts and the boys become the prey.
Bad is in all men, but the baddest men are the boldest in showing their badness.
If tomorrow is like yesterday, I'll do today again!
Mistakes make people human. Correction makes things right. Sorrow makes things pardonable.
What others spew is poison, but when we speak the same with a placebo, we expect the hearer to relish it all as they slowly succumb.
A flea is a flaw on a dog I saw, but the same flea on me isn't much at all.
As humble men do, Jefferson Davis allowed the sins of the south to be placed squarely on his shoulders.
A flutter of the eyelashes can fell the strongest gladiator.
Those whose dogs are their best friend need a pit bull to expand their world.
I love dogs; we're just not having a romance.
The one who sits with his legs crossed are hiding that he's nuts.
When tempers flare there are no winners.
Victory can be in losing if the fewest suffer the least loss.
If it wasn't for my memories who would be my friends?
When facing peril up close, past memories are at one-hundred speed. Then when danger is past, it slams on it's brakes and time stops just for a second.
