 “DIARY, n. A daily record of that part of one's life, which he can relate to himself without blushing.

"I'll judge you by your diary." Said Hearst:
"Thank you; 'twill show you I am Saint the First" -- Straightway producing, jubilant and proud, That record from a pocket in his shroud. The Angel slowly turned the pages o'er, Each stupid line of which he knew before, Glooming and gleaming as by turns he hit On Shallow sentiment and stolen wit; Then gravely closed the book and gave it back.
"My friend, you've wandered from your proper track: You'd never be content this side the tomb -- For big ideas Heaven has little room, And Hell's no latitude for making mirth," He said, and kicked the fellow back to earth. --"The Mad Philosopher"” | Ambrose Bierce quotes (American Writer, Journalist and Editor, 1842-1914)

 “Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: / And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: / They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; / (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.” |  Bible quotes
