TUESDAY QUOTE OF THE WEEK CLXLX

FINDING TRUTH WHEREVER IT MAY BE FOUND: “Love of money is called the root of evil because money is often the first agent of self-gratification . . . You can’t buy your way into heaven, but you can perhaps hoard your way to hell.” from Richard Russo’s, “Empire Falls”

QUOTE II: “You have your eternal life before you. You are a millionaire in immortality, and a millionaire whose fortune cannot be lost, whose fortune is less perishable than the stars and as long lasting as space or time. It is impossible for you to diminish your principle.” from Jack London’s “The Sea Wolf”

Father, I don't think asking people to show their kids that video is the best idea. If anything, watching that video will give kids ideas that won't end well. You'll pick up the paper the day after Thanksgiving and read the headline "NJ Mother Strangled Her Children In Butter Related Incident" and feel partly to blame when you see your blog referenced in the story. I did, however, enjoy the personified butter that tried to run away.
