Holiday Humor: To err is human, to forgive divine

Point to Ponder: To err is human, to forgive Divine. But then someone said: To err is human, isn’t that Divine?

Reflection: George Bush Sr. was not the only President who had a Vice President who used to goof.......

Vice President Dan Quayle (1988-1992) in his various speeches:

One word probably sums up the responsibility of any vice president, and that one word is ‘to be prepared’.

I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy but that could change.

El Salvador is a democracy so it’s not surprising that there are many voices to be heard hear. Yet in my conversations with Salvadorans…I have heard a single voice.

We expect them (Salvadorian Officials) to work toward the elimination of human rights.

If we do not succeed, then we run the risk of failure.

Hawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific. It is in the Pacific. It is a part of the United States that is an island that is right here. –in his visit to Hawaii in September 1989

What a terrible thing to have lost one’s mind, or not to have one at all.

Ronald Reagan had one too.

Story Line: Last week’s Friday Reflection titled No Man is a Failure who has Friends had an error in the spelling of the word Failure in the title. It was spelled Faillure. Thanks to Sharon for letting me know and  My apology for the mistake. Trying to make the change in the title would have changed the link to the article that was sent out worldwide. So a footnote was placed in the article explaining the situation. My 92 years old mom witnessing my face tried to soothe my pain by reminding me of some stories I had told her a few decades ago. Thinking of those made me laugh and I am sharing some of those with the readers.

Nice one! All languages are equality challenging to learn. Mastering a second language like English with all its nuances is tough!

I find them very informative and interesting; they also jog my mind out of slumber!!

"...we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy but that could change.”
Ironically, for the man who famously could not spell “potatoes”, this funny quote could be visionary...unfortunately...

Thanks

We are all imperfect! We make mistakes but we learn from it and don’t we all get a second chance if permitted? YES WE DO!!!!!
