Chapter 310: Black as the Devil

It is better to conquer yourself than to win

a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours.

It cannot be taken from you, not by angels

or by demons, heaven or hell.

Buddha

-o0o-

I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure.

I make mistakes, I'm out of control, and

at times hard to handle. But if you can't

handle me at my worst, then you sure

as hell don't deserve me at my best.

Marilyn Monroe

-o0o-

Go to Heaven for the climate,

Hell for the company.

Mark Twain

-o0o-

Black as the devil, hot as hell,

pure as an angel, sweet as love.

Charles Maurice de Talleyrand

-o0o-

Maybe this world is another

planet's hell.

Aldous Huxley

-o0o-

The safest road to hell is the gradual one

-- the gentle slope, soft underfoot,

without sudden turnings,

without milestones, without signposts.

C.S. Lewis

-o0o-

Marriage is neither heaven nor hell,

it is simply purgatory.

Abraham Lincoln

-o0o-

Eskimo: "If I did not know about God and sin,

would I go to hell?"

Priest: "No, not if you did not know."

Eskimo: "Then why did you tell me?"

Annie Dillard

-o0o-

Give me one hundred preachers who fear

nothing but sin and desire nothing but God,

and I care not whether they be clergymen or

laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell

and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth.

John Wesley

-o0o-

The mind is its own place and in itself,

can make a Heaven of Hell, or a Hell of Heaven.

John Milton

-o0o-

Pressure is something that you feel

when you do not know what

the hell you're doing.

Peyton Manning

-o0o-

It is easy to go down into Hell;

night and day, the gates of 

dark Death stand wide;

but to climb back again, to retrace one's

step to the upper air -- there's the rub,

the task.

Virgil

-o0o-

A diplomat is a person who can tell you

to go to hell in such a way that you

actually look forward to the trip.

Caskie Stinnett

-o0o-

Believe in love. Believe in magic.

Hell, believe in Santa Claus.

Believe in others. Believe in yourself.

Believe in your dreams.

If you don't, who will?

Jon Bon Jovi
