The Rule-of-the-Kingdom
/
A “Real Ruler” would be he who could listen to almost anything without losing his temper.
A Real Revolutionist would be he who could instantly feign dreadful anger at hearing K-Mart was closed on Sunday.
The Rule-of-the-Kingdom:
No one can truly be converted,
and anyone who can be, is not worth the effort.
Why is it that man has so often written lines bemoaning “the spirit's captivity to the body,” but never the other way around?
The Real Revolutionist would be prepared to deny what he already knows and discredit what he has already done. Ah, the smell of real freedom.
Upon hearing of the lower milk prices, the dairy farmer cried out in “udder dismay.” Being an upholsterer at the time, I found his remark “tacky.” (All of the above is meaningless, but sometimes I just can't resist.)
