Please respect that these are Great Books sites, and we prefer posts along the following

Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men
face.
Ronald Reagan
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. --Albert
Einstein
All art is an individual\'s expression of a culture. Cultures
differ, so art looks different.
Henry Glassie
XCVI
Some say thy fault is youth, some wantonness;
Some say thy grace is youth and gentle sport;
Both grace and faults are lov\'d of more and less:
Thou mak\'st faults graces that to thee resort.
As on the finger of a throned queen
The basest jewel will be well esteem\'d,
So are those errors that in thee are seen
To truths translated, and for true things deem\'d.
How many lambs might the stern wolf betray,
If like a lamb he could his looks translate!
How many gazers mightst thou lead away,
if thou wouldst use the strength of all thy state!
But do not so; I love thee in such sort,
As, thou being mine, mine is thy good report.
--William Shakespeare
