for equality is nothing short of a fraud." -- Lambda Legal, March 2, 2004

" . . . the men of God when they came to power, learned to play the game

"If I were commissioned as a judge in art, this would be my scale of tone:
gentle and encouraging for the beginners; admiring with doubt or doubting with
admiration, for the masters; positive and repellant for the botchers; scornful
for the swaggerers, and as bitter as possible for the intriguers. The judge in
art who had but one tone for all, had better have none."

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a
day.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,
reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for
helping yourself, the other for helping others.

place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman
is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing
years only grows!" -- Sam Levenson
