When one of lisa's baby teeth fell out here, the tooth fairy left her 50 cents. another tooth fell out when she was with her father in las vegas, and that tooth fairy left her $5. when i told elvis that 50 cents would be more in line, he laughed. he knew i was not criticizing him; how would elvis presley know the going rate for a tooth?

I am a muslim, because it's a religion that teaches you an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. it teaches you to respect everybody, and treat everybody right. but it also teaches you if someone steps on your toe, chop off their foot. and i carry my religious axe with me all the time.

Everybody in life is pursuing money: left, right, charity, nonprofits, everybody's pursuing money. everybody wants a raise. everybody wants to improve their standard of living. everybody wants to be rich, and especially those that go to washington.

I am not the kind of person that wants to enforce my wants, likes, desires, on everybody else. i have no desire that everybody like what i like. i have no desire everybody say what i want to hear said. i have no desire everybody stop whatever they're doing and listen to what i have to say. i have no desire that everybody agree. no, that's not true. i do wish everybody agreed, but i'm not gonna sit around and force that on people.
People Desire Wish
There is a power in love that our world has not discovered yet. jesus discovered it centuries ago. mahatma gandhi of india discovered it a few years ago, but most men and most women never discover it. for they believe in hitting for hitting; they believe in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth; they believe in hating for hating; but jesus comes to us and says, 'this isn't the way.'
Jesus Hate Believe
Today's reading was "if they ask you to walk a mile, walk two. don't take an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth." you have chances every second to live this word, but it has to be in you. it can't just be an idea; it has to sink from the mind into the heart.

Similar Quotes
If upon this earth we ever have a glimpse of heaven,it is when we pass a home in winter, at night,and through the windows, the curtains drawn aside,we see the family about the pleasant hearth; the old lady knitting; the cat playing with the yarn;the children wishing they had as many dolls or dollars or knivesor somethings, as there are sparks going out to join the roaring blast;the father reading and smoking, and the clouds rising like incense from the altar of domestic joy.i never passed such a house without feeling thati had received a benediction.

As you go down the rabbit hole of reading into our history, you realize that there are so many things that history books didn't teach us about ourselves.
