I didn’t realize I was in a Buddhist temple.
Al Gore
When asked about his illegal fundraising activities that took place in a Buddhist temple. He could have added ‘I know a lot of places where bald men run around in orange robes with incense burning that aren’t Buddhist temples.’ A Senate committee investigating campaign finance voted to issue 43 new subpoenas, including 23 connected to a Democratic fund-raising event at the Hsi Lai Buddhist temple in California that was attended by Vice President Al Gore. Participants paid $2,500 each to attend, in apparent violation of the temple’s tax-free status as a non-political religious group (5/23/1997)

You think it’s a conspiracy by the networks to put bad shows on TV. But the shows are bad because that’s what people want. It’s not like Windows users don’t have any power; I think they are happy with Windows, and that’s an incredibly depressing thought. Steve Jobs

My friend has said to me that I am a poor hand to quote Scripture. I will try it again, however. It is said in one of the admonitions of the Lord, ‘As your Father in heaven is perfect, be ye also perfect.’ The Savior, I suppose, did not expect any human creature could be perfect as the Father in heaven; but He said, ‘As your Father in heaven is perfect, be ye also perfect.’ He set that up as a standard, and he who did most towards reaching that standard, attained the highest degree of moral perfection. Abraham Lincoln
Speech July 10, 1858 in Chicago on the Declaration of Independence and its celebration. (1809-1865), 16th president of the United States.
