SUNDAY WISDOM
No man deserves to be praised for his goodness, who has it not in his power to be wicked. Goodness without that power is generally nothing more than sloth, or an impotence of will.

This dude is not at all with it. SO in short. If we thank you, CRC, for this posting, does it mean that you have to have some evil in you or else your considered lazy? I think not.
Leave it to the French to pee in the Cheerios.
Be well all.

Hey Barn,
I had to think on this one and your comment brought forth a good chuckle.
I think I get what the author of the quote was trying to convey, in my words it reads like this.
The measure of an individual’s greatness is best demonstrated when placed in perfect position to abuse it, they don’t.
CRC, thanks for making us think.

I still think the French are peeing in our Cheerios. I went to Paris as a younger lad, and they pee’d everywhere! Ah but it is the Egyptians that beat that one. Poop everywhere!!! Simple bodily functions, but best left private, hence the word, privy.
Take away those blasted borders and the it would be the funny speaking peeing people, and the master builder pooping people.
Poop and pee well all!

I need to wax out: I’m sponging up the wisdom. Thanks CRC for being true blue. Thanks Brodda Barn for being a witty goose. Thanks Dan for connecting with your first rate, wizard-dandy soul.
To all: Thank you my CRC friends for uniting with him and his crew to make these pages one of the heartiest and wisest around!
And why we are “All For One, One For All!
I still think there’s hope for the wicked, but I promise not to preach.
I will part on this note (words from my heART): When YOU choose to LIVE with HEART, YOU will REVEAL your HEART.
And so…
All For One, One For ALL

I wish I could say I am always good but I am not but than I feel I need to make up for it which sometimes in the long run was a better choice…and the French make up for it by having great food… Crème brûlée anyone?

Agreed about the food Anna. But the peeing in Cheerios has to stop! I love Julia Childs cooking. She, in my feeble opinion, is the undisputed champion of French cooking.
Be well all.

She received the French Legion of Honor in 2000.
Her final meal was French onion soup. And she was an American who loved French cooking with her cookbook, “The French Chef.” I just like watching her show because she was very entertaining.

I liked her use of sherry in cooking. She introduced me to cooking with liquor. May she rest in bliss.
And who don’t like french onion soup. It’s a 2 day thing making it with me. But when it is done… It is terriffic.
Be well, Anna.
