Birthday Sombreros!

Posted November 1, 2009, 7:17 p.m.

Melissa and I both celebrated our birthdays over the last week. Yesterday, we went out with my parents to Chevy’s—a Mexican place we like. Well, we picked right because both of us got these spiffy Birthday Sombreros!

I figure these will be good for the new job, or church, or just driving around the neighborhood. I’m sure some of the MS-13 gang-bangers up in Herndon will get a kick out of it.

Oh, MS-13 is Salvadorian? Hm. Maybe not then.

Quotes

To cultivate kindness is a valuable part of the business of life.

Samuel Johnson

Indeed all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceivers and deceived.

Paul the Apostle

I prefer the wrath of the world to the wrath of God; they can do no more than take my life.

Martin Luther

When men are uniform in their opinions, it affords evidence that they are sincere. When they are shifting, it gives reason to believe, they do not change from conviction.

Melancton Smith

Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies.

Barry Goldwater

If kings and peoples had only had their true interests in view ever since the beginning of the world, the name of war would scarcely be known among mankind.

Alexis de Tocqueville

A thought is often original, though you have uttered it a hundred times. It has come to you over a new route, by a new and express train of associations.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

On the contrary, God foretold hardship upon hardship in this world until the end of time. And you want the Christian to be exempt from these troubles? Precisely because he is a Christian, he is destined to suffer more in this world.

Augustine of Hippo

The child’s right to life is inalienable and must never be violated. No amount of legal, political, medical, or philosophical argumentation can usurp the child’s rights or God’s sole sovereignty.

Charles Pope

An almost unnatural vigilance is really required of the citizen because of the horrible rapidity with which human institutions grow old.

G. K. Chesterton

Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me.

Holy Bible

People who talk incessantly about ‘change’ are often dogmatically set in their ways. They want to change other people.

Thomas Sowell

To pardon a thief is to kill a good man.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

One man may prefer a routine job with much time off for basking in the sun to a more exacting job paying a higher salary; another man may prefer the opposite. If both were paid equally in money, their incomes in a more fundamental sense would be unequal.

Milton Friedman

He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness still.

John the Apostle

Writing and rewriting are a constant search for what it is one is saying.

John Updike

I want to remind priests that the confessional must not be a torture chamber but rather an encounter with the Lord’s mercy which spurs us on to do our best.

Francis (Pope)

It is the fault of our rhetoric that we cannot strongly state one fact without seeming to belie some other.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Said he, ‘We never fight the people we trade with.’ I thought to myself, ‘Well, we certainly had to fight Japan in spite of all the oil and scrap iron we sold her just before World War II.’ It did not seem possible that this famous international banker would have forgotten such an elementary lesson so quickly.

W. Cleon Skousen

Does any man suppose that one general national government can exist in so extensive a country as this?
