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.
