Words of Wisdom:

Having moral courage and doing the right thing does not mean doing what's easy. Don't forget to laugh at yourself. - PSJR

"This is a business and you're taking it very, very personally. Isnt that right, Tom?"

"Why, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker is just not your game. I know, let's have a spelling contest!"

Fr. J. Corapi
"If you constantly see the darkness in others, are always concerned about it, continuously pointing it out in others; then you concern yourself with darkness too much. It occupies you. You become enveloped in it and then become dark yourself. Instead, be the Light"
