Greetings fellow quote lovers:
Can you believe we are in a new year? How long will it
take before writing 2010 will come naturally to write.
I figure right about September.
I hope you like today’s issue. I still love finding
quotes and that is why we created on Twitter
GetYourQuotes. Those are all shorter quotations since
you only have 140 characters for a quote.
Get a Twitter account or wait a week or two as
GetYourQuotes will soon be available on Facebook.
Visit www.GopherTweets.com to see any new Twitter pubs.
Here’s to a Happy and wondrous New Year to you & yours.
Best,
JA

*—- Quotes For The Week —-*
We ask God to pardon us for every statement of ours which
is not true. We ask Him to help us that we may adhere to
that which yields Him satisfaction. We ask Him to lead us
to a proper insight into the nature of that which is false
and idle, that we may sift it so as to distinguish the
chaff from the wheat. All good comes from Him, and it is
He who is clement towards His worshippers. Praise be to
God, the Lord of the worlds…
– al-Beruni, Kitäb al-Hind

For, what other dungeon is so dark as one’s own heart!
What jailer so inexorable as one’s self!
–Nathaniel Hawthorne, from The House of Seven Gables

What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence
is an index into his desires — desires of which he
himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact
which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it
closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will
refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered
something which affords a reason for acting in accordance
to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest
evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.
–Bertrand Russell

The man who trusts men will make fewer mistakes than he

Re-examine all that you have been told… dismiss that
which insults your soul.

————————————————————
Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the
conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly
