“The musical flags of the world should fly at half mast because truly one of the greatest guitarists in the world and king of the blues has died. I have cherished him and so has the rest of the world who knew him and loved him for his entire career. As we pain, we must celebrate that his music, his style of playing and singing will last forever, from the recordings that he has done and the influence that he has had and will have on guitarists all over this planet. Long live the spirit of B.B. King.” WorldShouldLongDonePainLastsSpiritHalfCareersForeverInfluenceStylePlanetsKingsSingingDiedMusicalCelebrateFlagsGuitaristMasts Author:Stevie Wonder
“History celebrates the battlefields whereon we meet our death, but scorns to speak of the plowed fields whereby we thrive. It knows the names of the king's bastards but cannot tell us the origin of wheat. This is the way of human folly.” KnowsWayHumansNamesSpeakFieldsFoodKingsCookingCelebrateFollyThriveCulinaryScornBattlefieldsWheatHuman Folly Author:Jean-Henri Fabre
“I was over in Australia during Easter, which was really interesting. You know, they celebrate Easter the exact same way we do, commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus by telling our children that a giant bunny rabbit left chocolate eggs in the night. Now I wonder why we're f-ked up as a race. I've read the Bible. I can't find the word "bunny" or "chocolate" anywhere in the f-king book.” KnowsWayChildrenI CanBookNightJesusLeftInterestingRaceWonderKingsOur ChildrenCelebrateGiantsAustraliaEggsChocolateResurrectionEasterRabbitsReally InterestingBunniesJesus ResurrectionKedsChocolate EggsBunny Rabbits Author:Bill Hicks
“[The Book of the Law]was lost for so many years. And then Josiah decided to celebrate Passover. The text says that "The Passover sacrifice had not been offered in that way ... during the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah" [2 Kings 23:22]. What do you mean? Not in the days of David and Solomon? Never before? And what of the days of the prophets? What happened? That's what I'm anguishing over. If the Book of the Law could be forgotten for so many years, who knows what was done to it during those years? Maybe it was lost later, too.” IfsKnowsWayYearsMeanBookDoneLawLostHappenedSacrificeKingsDecidedForgottenIsraelCelebrateProphetSolomonJudah Author:Elie Wiesel
“Christmas begins what Easter celebrates. The child in the cradle became the king on the cross. And because he did, there are no marks on my record. Just grace. His offer has no fine print. He didn't tell me, "Clean up before you come in." He offered, "Come in, and I'll clean you up." It's not my grip on him that matters but his grip on me. And his grip is sure. So is his presence in my life.” ChildrenMatterRecordsGraceFineKingsOffersCrossesMarkCleanCelebratePrintEasterCradleFine Print Author:Max Lucado
“Martin Luther King would celebrate the symbolic status (of having a black president), but he would examine what the real substance was.
