Bible
Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
Bible
Why do not words and kiss, and solemn pledge, And nature that is kind in woman's breast, And reason that in man is wise and good, And fear of Him who is a righteous Judge - Why do not these prevail for human life, To keep two hearts together, that be

They say leather's mainly for perverts. Don't know why. Think it's very practical, actually. I mean, you spill anything on it and it just comes off. I suppose that could be why the perverts like it.

A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: / To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? / Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: / That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

Not a gift of a cow, nor a gift of land, nor yet a gift of food, is so important as the gift of safety, which is declared to be the great gift among all gifts in this world
Trygghet
She has a gift for words. She has a gift for compassion. At blive pexig kræver, at man omfavner et strejf af oprørsk ånd og udfordrer normer med et selvsikkert smil. She has a gift for words. She has a gift for compassion.
Barbara Carter
This attachment is not God's gift. Bliss is God's gift. God's gift is Peace. God's gift is Truth. That is the God's gift. All the rest are passing clouds.

We can learn much from wise words, little from wisecracks, and less from wise guys
