What, amico?

Godly Humor

the funny side of life

Volume 35

Hope is eternal and truth is―and truth is―ha―hum―what, amico?

Let go—

Seek for nothing!

Give yourself permission when faced with a serious situation to give voice to your feelings―

Smile, hold your head up high and put your right foot forward. Do not leave for tomorrow what can be done today.

―Unknown

A strange sight for heaven, men equipped for battle, uniforms and weapons!

There is nothing so small that it may not contain a world.

No one saw us, but the cat, which began a loud purring and stretched itself with joy at our presence. Suddenly, one of the youngest children looked up from his supper of bread and milk, and said, “Father, why does milk taste good?” “I really do not know,” admitted the author of his being, “perhaps because the cow enjoyed giving it.”

Did you fancy that salamanders were only seen by unabstemious poets?

They are real to themselves and to those who see them, as are the omnibus drivers in the streets of London.

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked―

How old was your husband? 98, she replied, two years older than me. So you're 96, the undertaker commented. She responded, Hardly worth going home, is it?

Slowly slowly catchee monkey.

You don't understand. There're so many to catch.

What earthly father can escape his children? What earthly mother wishes to? But I! I can make a rose to bloom then leave it for another to enjoy. My joy was in the making. It would be dull for me to stay with a rose until its petals fell.

―The Beautiful Being

Do try to rise above that angry feeling that a foe inspires. It is stupid, for it hurts your own soul. He can harm none, but himself, unless you allow hate and unkind judgments to enter into your own heart. 

Only what is within can hurt you. 

No danger, no harm comes from without. Everything, good or bad, comes first from within your own nature. This attracts to itself either good or bad. 

Like seeks like. This is the law. 

If you would love and pity him, instead of knocking and hating him, you would call out all the natural good in him, and so help to save his soul. 

Can you not at least try that method? You know the law. Why do you not live it? 

Never say a word again in criticism. Keep still and pray for more love. See how much it will improve the situation. It is the only way out.

Do try. Buck up!

Are you groping in darkness? 

Think along the borders of the unseen.
