2005-02-15 Still not smoking...

It's been about 5 months and I still haven't gone back to smoking. Actually, looking back on it, I can't believe I ever smoked. I pulled up some interesting quotes on the subject:

Cuban President Fidel Castro, who gave up smoking years ago, once joked about giving away boxes of cigars, saying "the best thing to do is give them to your enemy." (1)

2005-02-09 Golden Nuggets

I am re-reading my grandfather's autobiography "I Was There by the Grace of God". I will be posting here some of what I considered to be his more notable quotes, what he call's his "Golden Nuggets"; many passed down to him by his parents or other important people in his development into the early spiritual leader of the American Civil Rights Movement.

Golden Nugget No. 1:
"It is honorable to work for an honest living, and if you don't work, then you will have to steal."

Rev. S.S. Seay, Sr.

Golden Nugget No. 2:
"A person who lies will steal."

Rev. S.S. Seay, Sr.
