Every person should have a special cemetary lot in which to bury the faults of friends and
loved ones.
Anonymous
It is the prince's part to pardon.
Sir Francis Bacon
Life has taught me to forgive much, but to seek forgiveness still more.
Otto von Bismark
And throughout al eternity
I forgive you, you forgive me.
William Blake
Joy to forgive and joy to be forgiven
Hang level in the balances of love.
Richard Garnett
Forgiveness is better than revenge; for forgiveness is the sign of a gentle nature, but
revenge is the sign of a savage nature.
Epictetus
Nothing in this lost and ruined world bears the meek impress of the Son of God so surely
as forgiveness.
Alice Cary
Never does the human soul appear so strong and noble as when it forgoes revenge, and dares
to forgive an injury.
Edwin Huble Chapin
en·nui noun
Listlessness and dissatisfaction resulting from lack of interest; boredom: "The
servants relieved their ennui with gambling and gossip about their masters" (John
Barth). See Synonym boredom. [French, from Old French enui,
from ennuier, to annoy, bore, from Vulgar Latin *inodi³re, from Latin in odi½ (esse), (to be) odious : in,
in; odi½,
ablative of odium, hate.]
During my youthful days discontent never visited my mind; and if I was ever overcome by ennui, the sight of what is beautiful in nature,
or the study of what is excellent and sublime in the productions of man, could always
interest my heart, and communicate elasticity to my spirits.
Frankenstein.
Mary Shelley
He had absolutely nothing to do, almost died of ennui,
and became a confirmed misanthrope. And besides, my dear old Basil, if you really want to
console me, teach me rather to forget what has happened, or to see it from the proper
artistic point of view.
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Oscar Wilde
Definition from American Heritage Dictionary
The Mantids
All mantids are slow in their movements. Their flight is labored,
on wide, short wings. Their gait on four legs is slow and combined with much rocking of
the head and body. Though their ambulation is slow and seemingly awkward, the lunge with
the spiny forefeet as it reaches for its prey is lightning fast. The captured victim is
held tight in the spiny claws while the mantid consumes it with its chewing mouthparts.

Hard Job! A motorist, after being bogged down in a muddy road, paid a passing farmer five dollars
to pull him out with his tractor. TRUE FACT ... Humans begin laughing at two to three months of age. Six year olds laugh about 300 times per day, while adults laugh from 15 to 100 times per day. |
