If someone asked me where does "the lord helps those who help themselves" comes from, I may not know the answer,
Although, if forced to guess, I would guess Ben Franklin, because I think that he and Shakespeare created every single saying ever.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I took a "Bible as Literature" elective in high school. I was a pretty firm atheist by that point.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I may not know the answer, but I know it's NOT a Commandment, due to the whole "Thou Shalt Not" business.
I sometimes confuse the 10 Commandments with the Code of Hammurabi. But to be fair, they're nearly identical in some places and both inscribed on stone tablets.
Happy Pre-St. Patrick's Day! The things my husband will do in the name of charity.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I just don't get people who lack intellectual curiosity. How can you not want to know things about things?!
I kinda feel like I lack it. also, why do I have to work?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I, the Lord your God, do command that thou shalt save thy pennies, for lo, a penny that thou savest is as to a penny that thou earnest. I mean, that though earned, so thou shall not confuse Thine commandments with the parables of Oscar Wilde.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I think that, because it's referenced in so many "artistic" works (i.e., books [and not just Great Literature], movies, TV, music, etc.), it would help a great deal in improving a student's cultural literacy if the Bible were taught as literature, like JZ's teacher taught it. t edit And like Tom took as a class.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'd add in D'Israeli and Oscar Wilde, just to be safe.

Hmm. I think I've never heard anyone say this before. Ever.
Cashmere is cool. (Smart chicks are so HOT!)

And Jesus in his agony did cry out on the cross, "Either that wallpaper goes or I do!"

Cash, how did the kids react (if they saw him)?
When I was two or three, according to family lore, I became quite perturbed at the sight of my dad in a tie. It was just wrong on dad, in my eyes.
He didn't wear them much.
