THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY:
"Haughtiness and the high hand of disdain
Tempt and outrage God's holy law;
And any mortal who dares hold
No immortal power in awe
Will be caught up in a net of pain:
The price for which his levity is sold...
Though fools will honor impious men,
In their cities no tragic poet sings."
-Oedipus Rex
"Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction."
-Isaiah 48:10
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
-The Dutch Ten Commandments to Foil the Nazis
