The Spirit stood among the graves, and pointed down to One. [Scrooge] advanced towards it trembling...
"Before I draw nearer to that stone to which you point," said Scrooge, "answer me one question. Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of things that May be, only?"

CAESAR Let me have men about me that are fat;
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep o' nights:
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look;
He thinks too much: such men are dangerous.ANTONY Fear him not, Caesar; he's not dangerous;
He is a noble Roman and well given.CAESAR Would he were fatter! But I fear him not:
Yet if my name were liable to fear,
I do not know the man I should avoid
So soon as that spare Cassius. He reads much;
He is a great observer and he looks
Quite through the deeds of men: he loves no plays,
As thou dost, Antony; he hears no music;
Seldom he smiles, and smiles in such a sort
As if he mock'd himself and scorn'd his spirit
That could be moved to smile at any thing.
Such men as he be never at heart's ease
Whiles they behold a greater than themselves,
And therefore are they very dangerous.
Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Act 1, Scene 2

Jimmy Sr. passes on his lifetime fund of hard-won knowledge to eager little Jimmy Junior.

John Edwards admits he is the father of the famous Lake Minnewanka photo-crashing squirrel.
Fellow Democrats were not amused.
If they're so "progressive," how come they never change?
Unless, of course we change them.
