Good thing it was a snake, good thing it
bit you.
Where there's life, there's hope.
Even a child can
see that to have one foot in the grave is to call a spade a spade.
Think
before you start as what's done cannot be undone.
Up to his eyeballs in crocodile
tears he left no stone unturned.
While many hands make light work
all together we cannot do everything.
At a point in time we were both in
the same boat.
Golden
handcuffs cut to the quick.
Time reveals all
things.
In the land
of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
Women: can't live with 'em,
can't live without 'em.
From heaven to earth a fair wind nowhere near
the mark completed the circle.
While we weigh anchor dangle the bait.
No sooner said than done.
Out of tune, up to both ears, lead by
the nose the dog was worthy of his dinner.
Between a rock and a hard
place a rare bird walked on tiptoe.
One step at a time many miles
ahead a living corpse walked the tightrope.
There's many a slip 'twixt
cup and lip.
God helps those who help themselves while the grass is
greener over the fence.
The bowels of the earth can't teach an old dog
new tricks.
Haste makes waste while
time heals some wounds.
To look a gift horse in the mouth is to die laughing
like father, like
son.
To swallow the hook while grinding one's teeth is to have
an iron in the fire.
He blows his own trumpet to break the ice before he is shown one's
heels.
The cart before the horse is not worth a snap of the fingers.
Sleep on it to have nailed it up ship-shape.
Cutting against
the grain, one good turn deserves another, as by losses and
disappointment young men acquire
knowledge.
To lead one by the nose and to shoot beyond the mark makes
one as far from the right, as the east is from the west.
He that
meddleth with strife that doth not belong to him, is like one that taketh a mad
dog by the ear.
Hatched from the same egg
though in a mirror a necessary evil squeezed blood out of a stone.
Fly
from that man, he has hay on his horns.
When in Rome do as the Romans do as
walls have ears.
To add
fuel to the fire is irritating instead of appeasing the enraged passions.
Business is not likely to go on
well when managed by strangers as when
the cat is away, the mice will
play.
Fools are wise, or may be so reputed, when they are silent as
flies do not enter a shut mouth.
Those who abound in knowledge
are usually most deficient in money but he who owes nothing is rich.
A companion for all hours or seasons is the thief who makes
the rich man tremble but excites no
alarm in the breast of the beggar as he has nothing to lose.
The
wise man passeth by an injury, anger resteth in the bosom of a fool.
Charity begins at home, out of harm's way, beyond bow-shot
or the reach of darts, out of debt, out of danger.
There is a snake in the
grass, take care how you tread as you have opened a door to a thousand
evils.
Even though the foolish sayings of the rich, pass in the
world as oracles it is by the constant trickling of water, the solid stone
becomes excavated.
Poor as a church mouse he is foolish and mad enough,
who empties his own purse to fill that of another.
A horse-shoe nailed
on the threshold of the door preserves the house from the effects of witchcraft
while among sailors a horse-shoe nailed to the mast preserves the vessel from
evil influence.
Arguing against what is self-evident is the same as
denying that the sun shines at midday while men of over communicative
dispositions, may divulge to their adversaries what may be turned to their
disadvantage.
A prophet is not without honor
save in his own country as truth begets hatred, familiarity contempt, and
success envy.
Evil dispositions in children are to be
corrected before they become habits.
Think before you act, but having
well considered, and formed your plan, go on resolutely to the end.
To
design well, and to persevere with vigor in the path we have drawn for
ourselves, is the almost certain way to attain our object.
Posterity will give to every one the
portion of commendation to which he was entitled by his merit.
How much better would it be to correct an
error in ourselves, than to find an hundred in neighbors.
Sowing
your grain among stones,
writing on water, or building on sand is
like washing adobe bricks, the more you scour them, the more muddy they become.
Strike,
therefore, while the iron is hot as you are preaching to the deaf.
Among friends all things must
be in common.
Can
the Ethiopian change the color of her skin,
or the leopard his spots; is the bear Catholic and does the Pope shit in the
woods?
Affecting to give information to persons on subjects they
are better acquainted with than ourselves, is like teaching
birds to fly, or
fishes to swim.
Assist those who are willing to receive instruction, and
aid those who endeavor, but
have not strength, to bear the load that is imposed on them.
You have explained that difficult passage, and rendered
clear and luminous, what
was before obscure and difficult.
There are those who by
a multiplicity of words, endeavor to
obscure the truth, and to
induce those they converse
with to entertain opinions very different to what they would have formed,
if the story had been told in a plain and simple
manner.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based
on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme
leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer
through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the
spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior mass
media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the
family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the
corrupt international elites vision of a
perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of
the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the
corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which
further their purposes.
All views and opinions presented on this web
