Bold I can meet, perhaps may turn the blow;
But of all plagues, good Heaven, they wrath can send,
Save, save, oh save me from the candid friend~ ~George Canning~

Here is my final point. About drugs, about alcohol, about pornography and smoking and everything else.

IT'S NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS!

Never explain-your Friends do not need it and your Enemies will not believe you anyway.
~Elbert Hubbard~

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away...And now these things remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
~Holy Bible~

Did you enjoy what you read? I love quotes. I love how simply things can be stated by someone. If you feel the same, (and are so inclined) add me to your ICQ (#5595383) and be sure to update my info frequently. I change my quote frequently. Usually to keep up with my changing moods. (And those of you that know me know just how often THAT changes *giggle*)
