When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. ~Theodore Dalrymple

" I do not believe that every one is false. I will not believe that hope tells a flattering tale or that friendship is only a name, or that true love has fled from the earth and that the fear of God has vanished. Love is life. So much love, so much life, and few women, have been so well loved as I."

Christmas Eve is when the grandkids come and oh, how I love seeing their expectant faces and all the noise and laughter that fills my house. They have gone home now to wait for Santa and all is quiet until tomorrow. My back is killing me and I think I'm getting a headache, but I wouldn't trade this night for the world! Life is good.
