and then eternity paying for that chase. – eab

Excuse me – if you must.
You will pray, I trust;
It’s God’s will or “bust,”
Before I “bite the dust.”
Good-bye to material lust,
Never to see the “upper crust,”
I’ll lay my treasure where there’s no rust,
And yield my all to the God that’s just. – eab 3/1/70

“Be calm in arguing; for fierceness makes error a fault, and truth discourtesy.”
“Dare to be true. Nothing can need a lie: a fault which needs it most, grows two thereby.”
“He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven.”
“The devil divides the world between atheism and superstition.”
“He that is not handsome at 20, nor strong at 30, nor rich at 40, nor wise at 50, will never be handsome, strong, rich or wise.”
George Herbert died this date (3/1/1633) Bermerton, England. He had been born 4/3/1593, Montgomery, Wales.
