Soul Food: Week of May 26, 2024

“Soul Food” is a regularly updated calendar of meditations sometimes questioning conventional wisdom & often suggesting eternal values …

Sunday: I could always live in my art, but not in my life. Ingmar Bergman.

Monday: Didn’t P.T. Barnum tell us “There is a sucker born every minute” & suggest a Madoff is always at their service?

Tuesday: I landed in this country with $2.50 in cash & 1 million in hopes, and those hopes never left me … I went looking for trouble, and I found it. Charles Ponzi.

Wednesday: I rob banks because that’s where the money is. Willie Sutton

Thursday: Sorry I’m late. I was taking a crap. The Sting’s Henry Gondorff

Friday: I think [Robert E.] Lee should have been hanged. It was all the worse that he was a good man, had a good character and acted conscientiously. It’s always the good men who do the most harm. Henry Adams

Saturday: Unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. Jesus
