JACK'S WINNING WORDS 8/22/06
“The dumbest people I know are those who know it all.”
(Malcolm Forbes) One of the seven traditional virtues is humility. Do you know any of the other six? I’ll try to post them on the blog along with the seven deadly sins. Be smart; be humble! ;-) Jack


FROM P.P. IN S.H.:
I have a friend who is a bit of a 'know it all' and one of his favorite lines is "those who think the know it all are really iratating to those of us who really do." The only problem is that he doesn't know that it is intended as a joke.


SEVEN HEAVENLY VIRTUES VS SEVEN DEADLY SINS
These are from a poem by Prudentius who set them up against each other.
Chastity/Lust; Abstinence/Gluttony; Liberality/Greed; Diligence/Sloth;
Patience/Wrath; Kindness/Envy; Humility/Pride

The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.
Elizabeth Taylor (1932 - )

Elizabeth Taylor is a pretty smart woman to think of a WINNING WORDS like that. That was really interesting to read, Pastor Freed.
