Although we tend to think about saints as holy and pious, and picture them with halos above their heads and ecstatic gazes, true saints are much more accessible. they are men and women like us, who live ordinary lives and struggle with ordinary problems. what makes them saints is their clear and unwavering focus on god and god's people.

Authority has always attracted the lowest elements in the human race. all through history, mankind has been bullied by scum. those who lord it over their fellows and toss commands in every direction and would boss the grass in the meadow about which way to bend in the wind are the most depraved kind of prostitutes. they will submit to any indignity, perform any vile act, do anything to achieve power. the worst off-sloughings of the planet are the ingredients of sovereignty. every government is a parliament of whores. the trouble is, in a democracy the whores are us.

Many westerners forget that when the prophet spoke of four wives as the maximum allowable number, he had in mind a reduction to four as compared to the number then often prevailing; moreover, mohammed specified that a man should acquire more than one wife only if he could treat them all with equal justice - obviously a difficult feat for even the most diligent man to achieve. in effect, then, the prophet curtailed the number of wives.

Four. that's what i want you to remember. if you don't get your idea across in the first four minutes, you won't do it. four sentences to a paragraph. four letters to a word. the most important words in the english language all have four letters. home. love. food. land. peace. . .i know peace has five letters, but any damn fool knows it should have four.
