Jack’s Winning Words 2/6/07
“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet.” (Napoleon) Isn’t this a truly descriptive quote? I can think of many situations where it applies. The Emperor’s New Clothes comes to mind. In church, the altar is a table. The Oval Office is a room. I wonder what was in the mind of Napoleon. ;-) Jack.

FROM A JUDGE IN MICHIGAN: And in law, A BENCH IS JUST A BENCH.

FROM PREACHER JOHN IN MI: Yes, but the altar is a table that is consecrated to the use of our Lord...that makes it a Holy Altar and a very special table...

FROM L. K. IN OHIO: He could have said it is merely a place where one can undertake a fundamental bodily function,ha!

FROM C.H. ON CAPE COD: But that bench covered with velvet impacts many lives – sometimes for better and sometimes for worse.
