A SPIRITUAL WORD from david bruce

SPIRITUAL THEMES

But, when I remember what Bill Cosby was trying to teach me back when I was a child watching that show on Saturday mornings, I remember that every lesson taught on that show was based on virtue and purity and strength of character. 30 years later, Mr. Cosby finds himself in the newspapers for making a bold and courageous stance for purity and character within the Black community. Why wouldn’t I expect the film to echo the same message?
--Chris Utley

ON VIRTUE

Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount.
--Clare Booth Luce (1903 - 1987), in Reader's Digest, 1979

Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue.
--Izaak Walton (1593 - 1683), The Compleat Angler, 1653

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.
--Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC), 'Pro Plancio,' 54 B.C.

Be not ashamed of thy virtues; honor's a good brooch to wear in a man's hat at all times.
--Ben Jonson (1572 - 1637)

Men are equal; it is not birth but virtue that makes the difference.
--Voltaire (1694 - 1778)

Self-respect is the cornerstone of all virtue.
--John Herschel (1792 - 1871)

Be to her virtues very kind. Be to her faults a little blind.
-- Matthew Prior (1664 - 1721)

Fat Albert, the film, is one of the living personifications of Philippians 4:8. The world (and many film critics) may scoff at the film for its simplicity and old fashioned style and message. But it’s a message that barely anyone can find fault in. Both kids and their parents are gonna have a good time watching this film. To paraphrase our hero, Hey Hey Hey, see Fat Albert! It’ll truly make your day!
--Chris Utley

Philip. 4:8 (Message Bible)
Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.
