What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

Italy may well be the main problem. it has benefited most from the euro by having been able to get the euro interest rate instead of what otherwise would have been its own. that would be much higher because italy has been accumulating so much debt. in the past, italy has inflated away its debt. the virtue of the euro is that italy can't do it alone. a tight ecb policy wouldn't permit that to happen again.
Past Would Be Debt
They say that when god was in jerusalem he forgave his murderers, but now he will not forgive an honest man for differing with him on the subject of the trinity. they say that god says to me, "forgive your enemies." i say, "i do;" but he says, "i will damn mine." god should be consistent. if he wants me to forgive my enemies he should forgive his. i am asked to forgive enemies who can hurt me. god is only asked to forgive enemies who cannot hurt him. he certainly ought to be as generous as he asks us to be.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

You would quit the order for her? niko asked, the youngest only behind dante, and a warrior who relished his duty perhaps even more than dante had himself. i would quit breathing for her, if she asked it of me.

A lot of people say, well how can a loving god send anyone to hell? first of all god doesn't send anyone to hell. if we go to hell, it's by our own choice. but when somebody says to me, how can a loving god allow anyone to go to hell, i'll turn around and say, "well how can a holy, just, righteous god allow sin into his presence?"

If people are innately saddled with certain sins and flaws, like selfishness, prejudice, sort-sightedness, and self-deception, then political reform would seem to be a waste of time.

When it comes to other celebrity brands, i think a lot of people do a great job, but it can't be all about them. everybody doesn't want to just look like the celebrity, because they can't. they just want one element of that style.
