“As to Caesar, when he was called upon, he gave no testimony against Clodius, nor did he affirm that he was certain of any injury done to his bed.

“There's a lot of pressure on women to fulfill certain fantasies. They expect you to be a little bit of a tart, to flirt with all the men. A lot of women do it. But I'm not doing that.

When they say inappropriate things, I let them, because boys will be boys, but I'm not looking to participate in their conversations.” MenLittlesKidsGuyCertainBitsWomenBoysFantasyWifeHe ManConversationLittle BitPressureFlirtingInappropriateTarts Author:Jessica Alba

“Ours is one continual struggle against a degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the Europeans, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir whose occupation is hunting, and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with and, then, pass his life in indolence and nakedness.” DesireCertainLevelsNumbersStruggleWifeAmbitionRacistOccupationHuntingSoleDegradationCattleDegradeIndolence Book:Collected Works Source: Collected Works
“The establishment of a rating system, voluntary or otherwise, opens the door to an endless parade of moral quality control programs based on things certain Christians do not like.

And I think that some of them are valid reasons.” ThinkingMenWayShouldBelievePersonsSaidReasonCertainJesusTeachWifeCircumstancesDivorceTestamentDivorcedOld Testament Author:Billy Graham

“My wife is my first reader, my first line of defence I suppose. So she says, "Oh well, oh yes, it's all true."

Or running and hiding some place, if I was still alive. I'm certain I wouldn't be playing music. She's just been perfect for me.
