“Liberty is a harsh mistress. You cannot pick and choose what you like and dislike about her. Liberty will not change her principles for you, no matter how much you claim to love her. She will stand fast in her demands for total acceptance. If you can't receive her, she will recognize you as a false lover and leave you. And when you hear that door slam, it will take every tear in your eye, every ounce of blood in your veins, and all the nerve in your heart to win her back.” IfsHeartMatterEyeWinningLibertyPrinciplesDoorsBloodAcceptanceTearsLoversDemandPicksClaimsNervesDislikeHarshVeinsMistressSlamLike And DislikeTears In Your Eyes Author:William H.

“Fantasy stories open our eyes to an unseen world and train our minds to see beyond the visible. In the New Testament context, this is where our real battles are fought. Good fantasy will reveal the hidden powers of evil that threaten the hero's life and upset his journey. Good fantasy focuses on how a hero finds victory when he learns that he can't win by himself, so he submits to the higher power in faith and obedience.” WorldMindRealStoriesEyeEvilWinningFantasyJourneyHeroVictoryHigherBattleTrainObedienceUpsetVisibleSubmitTestamentUnseenNew TestamentHigher PowerCan't WinFantasy Stories Author:Bryan Davis

“Cupid and my Campaspe play'd At cards for kisses - Cupid paid: He stakes his quiver, bow, and arrows, His mother's doves, and team of sparrows; Loses them too; then down he throws The coral of his lips, the rose Growing one's cheek (but none knows how); With these, the crystal of his brow, And then the dimple of his chin: All these did my Campaspe win.
