in which they were thought to be strongest.  Moses
failed in his humility, Abraham in his faith, Elijah
in his courage, for one woman scared him away to
that juniper-tree; and Peter, whose strong point was
boldness, was so frightened by a maid, as to deny
his Lord.
     --Dwight L. Moody (1837-1899)
      (In Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert's
      _Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers_ [1895]

Disdain not your inferior, though poor, since he may be
your superior in wisdom, and the noble endowments
of mind.
     --George Shelley (1666-1736)
      _Sentences And Maxims Divine, Moral, And
       Historical, In Prose And Verse_ [1730]

Lord, save me from my own stupidity. Amen.- Chris Hatch@LondonHatch

certainties through my love for the truth;
and truth rewarded me.
     --Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986)
