The Final Exam

Posted on by

Well known and long time Canadian politician, John Crosbie has died at the age of 88.

He was known for a sharp tongue and quick wit.

It is said he was an avid reader and when once asked what book he was currently reading, his reply was, “The Bible; I want to be prepared for my final exam.”

Not bad advice, I’d say. Happy Saturday.

 

The Brave and Heroic

In her book, Passionate Presence, Catherine Ingram quotes from the Bhagavad Gita:

If you want to be brave, look at those who forgive. If you want to see the heroic, look at those who can love in return for hatred.

If you are having a reading day, may the words you read inspire your thoughts. Happy Saturday.
