The fourth horseman of the dollar apocalypse
* President Obama and Fed Chief Bernanke are not only refusing to defend the dollar, they are intentionally causing its demise with out-of-control spending and money-printing. Their motives are clear: Gutting the greenback’s value is the ONLY way they can ever hope to service our massive debt.
* Foreign governments, central banks, financial institutions and investors are slashing their dollar investments. In some cases, they are dumping dollars to insulate themselves from the greenback’s head-long plunge. And by doing so, they’re causing the dollar’s decline to accelerate.
* The United Nations and the G-7 plus China, France, India, Russia, Brazil and others are already laying plans to replace the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency — and by doing so, will crush what little international demand remains for the greenback and send it into its death spiral.
These are not mere “predictions.” As we’ve seen in my emails to you this week, each of these assaults on the U.S. dollar is happening right now. And as a result, the dollar’s value — the value of YOUR dollars — has plunged more than 14% in the last 6 months.
Worse: Each of these assaults on the U.S. dollar is still in its early stages! As they continue to hammer the greenback in the months ahead, the dollar’s decline can only accelerate wildly.
The fourth horseman of the dollar apocalypse
Now, a FOURTH, and even more disturbing anti-dollar movement is quietly brewing in Washington, New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Shanghai, Tokyo and many other financial capitals worldwide.
Unlike the other assaults on the dollar we’ve examined, this “ultimate debt solution” is NOT yet in place. The world leaders and central bankers who discuss it now speak only in whispers; behind closed doors.
But for reasons I give below, I’m convinced that world leaders now have no choice but to implement this solution — and that it will soon explode into the headlines.
If I’m right, it will spell SUDDEN DEATH for the U.S. dollar — and an instant, explosive implosion in the buying power of your money.
When this solution is unveiled, it will be too late for you to shield yourself. The trap will have been sprung. You will simply awake one morning to discover that your money buys only a fraction of what it did 24 hours earlier.
My mission is to help make sure that you are NOT surprised ... that you have ample time to protect your savings, investments and retirement ... and that you also have what you need to continue growing your wealth — even as this ultimate debt solution robs others of everything they’ve ever earned.
The ULTIMATE global debt solution
It’s no secret that the U.S. credit crisis spread like wildfire around the globe — or that nearly every government on Earth has amassed enormous new debts in an effort to spend its way out of this crisis.
Put simply, the U.S. government is NOT alone. Many governments around the world are now drowning in debt — and they’re desperately searching for the “magic solution” that will keep that debt from crushing their economies.
And like President Obama and Fed Chief Bernanke, they fear that the only way they’ll ever be able to service their debt — let alone repay it — is to do so with cheaper money.
The only way for that to happen would be for the G-20 — the world’s largest economies — to agree to a new monetary order, much like they did 65 years ago by signing the Bretton Woods agreements in 1944.
Even while World War II continued to rage, Allied leaders met in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. Their mission: To stabilize wildly fluctuating currency exchange rates. Their solution: Create a new world monetary order that pegged global currencies to the price of gold.
This time around, global leaders are faced with a different problem: Massive debts that none of them can ever repay. But the solution will seem eerily familiar — and like the Bretton Woods agreements, it involves the price of gold.
To instantly slash the value all of their currencies at once, world leaders simply need to raise the price of gold. For instance:
The G-20 could instantly and automatically slash the dollar’s value by HALF simply by setting the price of gold at $2,000 per ounce.
TO YOU, that would mean food, energy and everything else you pay for every month would instantly DOUBLE in price.
BUT FOR THEM, it would mean that the cost of servicing or repaying their national debts would be cut by half.
Will the G-20 slash the buying power of money by doubling the price of gold? Maybe. Maybe they’ll raise gold prices less; maybe more. If anyone tells you he knows, he’s pulling your leg.
But one thing seems clear to me: With the entire developed world now drowning in a sea of unpayable and in some cases, unserviceable debt, resetting the price of gold is the ONLY way out.
In fact, the process has already begun with the explicit calls you’ve been hearing in the press from heads of state for “a new financial architecture” ... “a new Bretton Woods” ... “new financial regulatory structures.”
How soon is it likely to happen? Again — nobody knows for sure. It may be a few months from now or even a couple of years in the future. But I have absolutely no doubt that it WILL happen.
Money — the U.S. dollar and every other major paper currency — will soon be gutted of its value by decree. There is simply no other way out.
We’re here to help you protect yourself and profit
I am deeply concerned that you do not have the information and recommendations you need to insulate yourself and your family from this great global war on the value of your money and on your financial security.
In fact, our team is already planning a special briefing to give you everything you need to weather this storm — but we need your help:
Ask anything you like and we’ll do our best to get you the answers you need to shield your wealth.

The greenback could soon lose its status
as the world’s RESERVE CURRENCY!
Until now, most of the world’s governments, central banks, financial institutions and investors held their reserves — their cash on hand — in U.S. dollars.
The greenback has also enjoyed preeminence as the currency that most of the world’s nations use when making international purchases on the global markets.
But if the U.S. dollar were to suddenly lose its position as the world’s reserve currency — if trillions of dollars were no longer needed by foreigners as currency reserves — worldwide demand for dollars and the value of the greenback would utterly collapse.
Now ... thanks in large part to ...
* Our massive national debt plus the unprecedented explosion of new debt under the Obama administration ...
* The U.S. Treasury’s record-shattering offering of debt instruments to finance our massive borrow-and-spend addiction ...
* The Fed’s out-of-control money printing, and ...
* The near-certainty that these factors will cause the greenback to plunge in value.
Many foreign governments and central bankers are now demanding that the greenback be abandoned as the world’s reserve currency.
Impossible? Absolutely NOT!
In fact, the warning signs
are everywhere you care to look:
* China is already lobbying — aggressively — for a new global reserve currency and leading the campaign to establish an Asian currency reserve fund.
* Over the past few weeks, the U.N., France, India, Russia, Brazil and several other nations — as well as economic thinkers such as George Soros and Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz — have joined China in demands to replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
* The G-7’s recent funding of the IMF with $1 trillion ... new regulatory powers ... and broader use of the IMF’s Special Depository Receipts, or SDRs confirms that the stage is being set for a new global monetary order.
* China recently established a $95 billion currency swap with other Southeast Asian countries, and a $10 billion currency swap with Argentina. It is the first major Yuan swap agreement with a Latin American country — and directly threatens the dollar south of the border.
Its goal: To aggressively take its Yuan to the next sphere of influence in the currency markets, forcing a worldwide monetary change ...
* South America’s Bank of the South is preparing to open its doors soon with seed capital from Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Uruguay.
Its objective: Independence from the U.S. dollar!
Mark my words ...
The nations of the world MUST replace the U.S. dollar as their reserve currency in sheer self-defense!
Could the greenback implode like Rome’s denarius did at the end of the Roman Empire — when its currency collapsed to zero in a little more than a decade?
Or like the Russian ruble has ... like the British pound sterling did at the end of the 19th century ... like the Thai baht and a host of other currencies did during the Asian Contagion of the 1990s?
Could the steady but gradual erosion in the dollar’s value we’ve seen so far deteriorate into an all-out rout?
To me, the answer is clear: It’s much more than merely possible. Washington’s decades of gross mismanagement of the economy has made the dollar’s imminent demise PROBABLE.
And when it happens, everyone who has savings and investments denominated in dollars will awake to find that a huge chunk of the wealth they thought they had has vanished — even as their cost of living skyrockets.
We do NOT want YOU to be among the victims!
That’s why I’ve spent the past few days engaging you on the future of the dollar — and why, in the days ahead, we’re going to begin giving you prudent recommendations to shield yourself and your family from this catastrophe-in-the-making.

An End-Time-Vision...
==============
While trying to prepare my message, the Lord showed me a vision.
I saw a large pasture with very many sheep. All of a sudden, from every direction and from all over, came wolves upon the herd, mixing themselves amongst the sheep. Neither the shepherds nor the shepherd dogs (of utmost importance) sounded any alarm.
They lay on the floor as if hypnotized.
There was just a bit of panic within the herd.
The sheep did notice that something was wrong, but they took no serious note of what was happening. They just continued grazing in a relaxed manner.
The shepherds and the shepherd dogs on the other hand noticed nothing.
As I observed closely, I saw the wolves, which had fangs like snakes in their mouths, tweak (pinch or prick) the sheep on their buttocks.
These twitched briefly, and then continued their relaxed grazing.
After a short while, the wolves ran from the herd, withdrawing themselves again into the mountains, without having stolen a sheep or inflicted any visible harm on them.
On seeing all these things, I thought to myself. ‘This is not at all possible, that wolves would come amongst sheep and not harm them. This is out of character! Then as the wolves left the sheep, I saw all of a sudden the leader of the wolf pack, together with his whole wolf followership on a high cliff. It was like a great beast; a monster.
Then the wolves began to howl and yelp.
The shepherd, shepherd dogs and all the sheep were terrified, shivering and shocked.
And the leader of the pack began, like a demon, to speak with a deep human voice. “My dear shepherds, dogs and all my dear sheep. You now belong to us.
We have you completely in our hands.
We were amongst you, without your noticing anything. We worked amongst you in disguise. We even inoculated you with a "serum" that makes you now ours. You are all, as at now, bearing our “mark”.
We have also inoculated you with our spirit and data, without your having been aware. There is now no more escape for you. The whole flock is now under our control.
I then said in my spirit “No! The Lord is my shepherd. I will have nothing to do with the devil and his demons. I will not have them as my shepherds”.
Then spoke the leader of the wolf pack even further with a sneer on his face, saying “the sheep here ate and slept. Your bellies and welfare was more important to you.
Now hear what this demon said to me very clearly: We have now come to take revenge for our man of the Gadarenes. (See Matt 5:1-17) Back then, your Lord cast us out of him, and we had to flee into sweine and spring into the abyss.
Now though, we have recovered and are strong enough to leave our cursed dwellings again. We have therefore returned from the abyss to take revenge against him (Jesus) and his works. These sheep all grazing here have
been infected by our demons from the abyss. They can no longer escape.
They belong to us absolutely.
I was shocked!
===========
Here, God spoke to me saying ‘my son, every person will be asked to compulsorily take immunization against the swine flu in the next few days.
This is a disguise. They will in the process be infected with demons from the abyss; all who do not have my spirit and my seal upon them.
Yes, it will be such that that they will receive a deadly spirit inoculated into them. This will allow the wolves do with them what they like.
Whoever does not follow them, antagonises or stands against them in any way, will be eliminated at the touch of a button.
For such will there be no more escape from them.
Yes it is true, my son says the Lord. These cursed spirits will arise again out of the abyss and return through the ‘swine’ to continue their mischief amongst the people who neither know nor follow me. I however, with my church
will do same as then. We will depart from that area. So will those demons from the abyss exterminate one third of humanity.
Then, said the Lord to me further. But you, my children, who follow me, must be bold and brave, and say NO! Do not allow yourselves to be pricked and inoculated. You must consistently trust me.
I will take you with me to the other shore, and we will continue there.
For you my children, life goes on quite normally.
You are my sheep. You hear my voice and follow me. And I send you as sheep amongst wolves.
Warn all my children and all men of good will against this worldwide compulsory inoculation. It appears harmless. It is not!
It is more the return on the ancient demons of the abyss. Warn everyone!
Even when you are termed “paranoid” and “terrorist”.
You are my children, and my people. You are holy. You should therefore have no other ‘stigma’ in your bodies. Your body is a temple for my Holy Spirit, and not a secret dwelling for demons, which had been cast out by me, from which I delivered
you, says the Lord.
I am passing on this message as it was given me.
Dear friends, we are right in the end times. Watch quite carefully what happens to you and your children. The devil is, and remains a liar. And he has no good intentions.
I was shaken, when God showed me this vision with the swine, in connection with the whole thing about immunization against swine flu.
The believers are about to undergo the end times test, where will be shown, whether we have enough resistance power, enough to say NO.
You are not defenceless. God gave you his Holy Spirit and the whole armour (see Ephesians 6: 16-17). These you will now need and must soon make use of.
If you are not yet a true child of God, repent! Be baptized and be filled with the Holy Spirit, so that the seal of God will be upon your life (Ephesians 1:1,13, 4:30 and Revelations 7: 3 &4) and you cannot be touched for
the devil.
Do write me a few lines.
I would like to keep praying for you.

Caracterul si Reputatia
Lumea are nevoie de oameni de caracter:
- care sa nu poata fi cumparati;
- al caror cuvant este datoria lor;
-care considera caracterul mai important decat bogatia;
- care sunt mai mari decat vocatia lor;
- care nu ezita sa riste;
- care nu isi pierd individualitatea in multime;
- care sunt cinstiti atat in lucrurile mici cat si in cele mari;
- care nu accepta niciun compromis cu raul;
- ale caror ambitii nu se limiteaza la dorintele lor egoiste;
- care nu vor spune niciodata: „fa-o, caci si altii o fac“;
- care sunt credinciosi prietenilor lor si cand despre acestia se vorbeste de bine, si cand se vorbeste de rau, si la bine, si la rau;
- carora nu le este rusine sau teama sa stea de partea adevarului cand acesta nu este popular;
Ucigasii caracterului
- Egoismul.
- Deformarea Evangheliei pentru a se potrivi planului tau.
- Folosirea darului vorbirii pentru a-i controla pe ceilalti.
- Dorinta de putere si bogatie.
- Imoralitea.
Ce zideste caracterul
- Neprihanirea: sa faci ceea ce este compatibil cu caracterul lui Dumnezeu.
- Evlavia: o viata de respect si reverenta fata de Dumnezeu.
- Credinta: increderea in Dumnezeu.
- Dragostea: jertfirea pentru Dumnezeu si pentru altii.
- Rabdarea: dragostea care dainuieste.
- Bunatatea: un spirit calm, care uraste pacatul, dar il iubeste pe pacatos.
Reputatia si caracterul
Caracterul este singurul lucru pe care il construim in viata aceasta si il luam cu noi in cea de dincolo. Circumstantele in care traiesti iti hotaresc reputatia; adevarul pe care il crezi iti hotareste caracterul.
- Reputatia este ceea ce ai atunci cand vii intr-o noua comunitate; caracterul este ce ai cand pleci din ea;
- Reputatia se construieste intr-un moment; caracterul intr-o viata;
- Reputatia creste ca ciupercile; caracterul ca un stejar.
- Despre reputatia ta se afla intr-o ora; caracterul nu iese la lumina un an intreg.
- Un singur articol din ziar iti arata reputatia; o viata de truda iti formeaza caracterul.
- Reputatia te face bogat sau sarac; caracterul te face fericit sau nenorocit;
- Reputatia este ce spun oamenii despre tine pe piatra de mormant; caracterul este ceea ce spun ingerii inaintea tronului lui Dumnezeu;
- Caracterul este ceea ce stie Dumnezeu ca esti. Reputatia este ceea ce cred oamenii ca esti.
La originea cuvantului "caracter" este semnul sau "litera" facuta in piatra sau metal cu dalta sau priboiul gravorului. Caracterul nu se stergea, ci ramanea uneori peste veacuri. Asa ceva este si la om. Caracterul este o "inscriere" in launtrul lui, care ramane si ii directioneaza gandurile, gusturile, nazuintele, actiunile si intregul lui comportament.
Biblia nu da definitii, ci prezinta caractere si face referiri la caracter, numindu-l "omul dinlauntru." Omul din afara reprezinta persoana; omul dinlauntru reprezinta personalitatea. Omul de afara imbatraneste, omul din launtru nu imbatraneste, nu este supus entropiei (2 Cor. 4:16).
Personalitatea are adevarata valoare: "Comoara aceasta o purtam in niste vase de lut" (2 Cor. 4:7). Nu vasul de lut are valoare, ci comoara din vas. Unii cauta sa impodobeasca vasul de lut, omul de afara, dar apostolul Petru a scris: "Podoaba voastra sa nu fie podoaba de afara, care sta in impletitura parului, in purtarea de scule de aur sau in imbracarea hainelor, ci sa fie omul ascuns al inimii, in curatia nepieritoare a unui duh bland si linistit, care este de mare ret inaintea lui Dumnezeu" (1 Petru 3:3,4). si aici se arata ca valoarea cea mare nu o are omul de afara, ci omul din launtru. O persoana poate avea o fata frumoasa, dar daca nu are caracter, nu are valoare. Frumusetea de afara nu este mai adanca decat pielea si e atat de trecatoare! Frumusetea launtrica este cea care fericeste viata si care are valoare si inaintea lui Dumnezeu si inaintea oamenilor. Ce valoare are o fata frumoasa la fata, daca e lipsita de caracter, e usuratica?
Caracterul trebuie format, dezvoltat. Tim LaHaye a scris: "Caracterul nu se naste odata cu persoana. El se formeaza prin dragostea si grija parintilor. Este datoria lor sa instileze in inima copiilor principiile pe care Dumezeu le-a instilat inlauntrul lor."
Vrand sa arate importanta preocuparilor pentru caracter, Ioan Gura de Aur a scris: "Mai presus de orice pictor, mai presus de orice sculptor sau orice alt artist, eu il pretiuesc pe cel ce este dibaci in arta formarii sufletului copiilor."
Distinsul predicator S.D. Gordon a scris: "Instruirea unui copil este cea mai inalta, cea mai sfanta si cea mai fascinanta ocupatie."
Cu mult inainte de Christos, oamenii intelepti au dat o foarte mare importanta cunoasterii de sine. Pittacus din Mitilene (652-569 i.Ch) considerat unul din cei sapte intelepti ai lumii antice, avea dictonul: "Cunoaste-te pe tine insuti", care a fost sapat cu litere de aur in templul lui Apolo din Delfi. Acest principiu a fost preluat mai tarziu de Socrate, ca principiu de baza al filosofiei. Acest Socrate a spus: "Caracterul omului este ca umbra ce il insoteste pretutindeni; cateodata merge inapoia lui, altadata merge inaintea lui; uneori e mai lunga, alteori e mai scurta."
Caracterul ne da adevarata identitate. De aceea trebuie sa acordam o mare atentie formarii lui. Stanley C. Baldwin a scris: "Intrebam ce ar trebui sa facem, nu ce ar trebui sa fim. Intrebam cum am putea schimba mediul inconjuratr, dar nu cum am putea schimba caracterul nostru. Ceea ce suntem are valoare, de aceea trebuie sa ne formam un caracter bun.
Johann Amos Comenius a scris: "Omul trebuie format ca sa devina om." Omul se naste cu un mare potential de atitudini, dar trebuie format, altfel creste deformat. Trebuie sa veghem asupra formarii caracterului nostru.
Caracterul este o carte de vizita, nescrisa pe hartie, dar sapata in adancul fiintei, care te prezinta oriunde, oricand si oricui. El se exprima prin felul in care te imbraci, cum te comporti in familie, in biserica, in societate, prin felul in care conduci bicicleta, caruta sau masina; prin felul in care iti alegi prietenii. Nu uita vorba din batrani: "Pasarile de aceleasi pene zboara impreuna" sau "Spune-mi cu cine te imprietenesti, ca sa-ti spun cine esti." Toate adeveresc, fara grai, ce fel de caracter ai tu. Faptul ca iti ti cuvantul sau ti-l calci, ca esti punctual sau vesnic intarziat, ca esti ordonat sau dezordonat, ca privesti lucrurile de fond sau doar pe cele de suprafata, ca iubesti curatia sau ca te complaci in murdarie, ca esti aprins sau bland, ca esti certaret sau pasnic, ca esti mandru sau smerit, ca te bucuri de lucrurile usuratice sau de cele serioase, toate acestea, absolut toate, spun ce fel de caracter ai. Nu putem sa ni-l ascundem. Toate vorbele, toate miscarile, toate faptele noastre ne tradeaza. Ele spun in gura mare ce fel de caracter avem.
Caracterul este o forta superioara care iti inlesneste succesul in actiune. Si aceasta fara prea mare efort din partea ta. Daca tu te preocupi de caracter, el va rezolva o serie intreaga de lucruri. Cuvantul tau, chiar si cu greseli de exprimare, va avea efect asupra celor ce te asculta. Ei nu se vor opri la greseli, ci vor avea in vedere scopul pe care-l urmaresti. Benjamin Fran\lin, care a urcat de la treapta de om de rand la aceea de sef al statului, si-a atribuit succesul sau nu atat de mult talentelor sale sau puterii in vorbire, caci a fost slab in aceste privinte, ci integritatii caracterului sau: "Acesta a facut sa am greutate in fata concetatenilor mei. Am fost un vorbitor slab, nu am fost niciodata elocvent. Eram supus multor ezitari in alegerea cuvintelor si n-am fost mereu corect in limbajul meu; totusi mi-am atins scopul."
Caracterul ajunge sa fie cunoscut pana la mari departari si iti asigura o protectie mai buna decat imbracamintea de zale a cavalerilor de altadata sau decat paza multor gardieni. E ceva divin in aceasta protectie. Se istoriseste descpre Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592), eseist si moralist francez, ca, in tipul razboaielor, el a fost singurul om din toata natiunea franceza care nu-si avea portile castelului barate si pazite de o garda. Caracterul lui era o forta mai mare decat un regient de cavalerie. Il pazea felul lui de a se impune atat prietenilor, cat si dusmanilor sai.
Caracterul este o invincibila forta launtrica. Dusmani iti pot rapi bunurile, iti pot rapi drepturile, libertatea, te pot imbraca in zdrente sau in straie de batjocura cu diavoli zugraviti pe ele, ca pe vremea inchizitiei, dar cu atat va straluci mai mult caracterul omului dinlauntru; ei pot, prin batai sa-ti striveasca trupul, dar nu-ti pot strivi caracterul. El este invincibil.
Iata o ilustratie a acestor adevaruri printr-un caz din istorie. Bernard de Palisy a fost olarul care a redescoperit secretul egiptenilor de a pune un strat de zmalt pe oalele de pamant. El a fost u simplu olar deci, dar, datorita smaltului, a ajuns celebru, iar renumele sau i-a atras prietenia regelui Henric al III-lea al Frantei. Acest Palisy era insa crestin "hughenot" (reformat). Regele l-a ocrotit pentro o vreme de prigoana Inchizitiei. Dupa o vreme insa, cu toata mila regala, Henry i-a spus ca se vede fortat de imprejurari sa-l dea pe mana persecutorilor lui. Iata cum a raspuns Palisy: "Sire, adeseori mi-ai spus ca ti-este mila de mine. Astazi trebuie sa-ti spun ca mie mi-e mila de altetea voastra. Un rege ca tine a trebuit sa spui ca esti fortat. Astfel de cuvinte nu sunt potrivite pentru gura unui rege si eu iti spun, in cuvinte regesti, ca nici dinastia Guise, nici tot poporul tau, nici tu insuti nu vei fi in stare sa fortezi pe un biet olar sa-si plece genunchiul in fata statuilor tale de sfinti." Caracterul lui Palisy nu a putut fi infrant. El amurit moarte de martir. caracterul da statornicie in crez, indiferent de situatiile prin care trebuie sa treci. In lumea credintei de azi si in necazurile care vor urma, e nevoie de credinciosi cu caracter de otel. Numai acestia vor fi mai mult decat biruitori. O, Doamne, fa ca in generatia tanara sa fie multi oameni cu un asa caracter! - Petru Popovici - din cartea "Formarea caracterului"
Nu exista inlocuitor pentru caracter.
Poti cumpara cunostinte, dar caracterul nu se gaseste de vanzare.
Fii ceea ce vrei sa pari altora!
Cel ce nu vrea sa gandeasca este un bigot; cel ce nu poate sa gandeasca este un prost; cel ne nu indrazneste sa gandeasca este un sclav.
Spunemi la ce fel de glume razi, ca sa-ti spun cine esti.
Caracterul este ceea ce esti tu pe intuneric.
Singura persoana din lume care-ti poate ruina caracterul esti tu insuti.
Ii admiram pe oamenii de geniu, ii invidiem pe oamenii bogati, ne temem de oamenii aflati la putere, dar de increzut, nu ne incredem decat in oamenii de caracter.
Ce faci cand n-ai nimic de facut spune iti da pe fata caracterul.
La jocuri, caracterul se vede cel mai bine din felul in care sti sa pierzi.
Daca vrei sa-l cunosti pe dusmanul care-ti poate face cel mai mult rau, priveste atent ... in oglinda!
Una din dovezile despre valoarea Biblieie este si caracterul celor ce o batjocoresc.
Cea mai mare rasplata pentru stradaniile unui om nu este ceea ce castiga prin munca sa, ci ceea ce devine prin ea.
Candva, un scorpion a rugat o broasca testoasa sa-l duca de pe un mal pe altul.
"Si daca ai sa ma intepi> i-a replicat broasca.
"N- am sa te intep", a raspuns scorpionul, "ca asta ar insemna sa mori, ne-am scufunda amandoi si asta n-ar avea nici o logica."
La mijlocul raului, scorpionul a intepat sarmana broasca. In timp ce murea tragandu-l si scorpionul la fund, ea a apucat sa-l mai intrebe: "De ce-ai facut-o? Care-i logica?"
"N-are nimic de a face cu logica", i-a raspuns sufocandu-se scorpionul. "Asta-i felul meu de a fi si n-am ce-i face."
O cobra te va musca si daca-i vei spune cobra si daca-i vei spune doamna cobra.
Caracterul nu este un cadou, ci o cucerire!
Reputatie este ce avem la sosire, caracter este ce suntem la plecare.
Caracterul unui om este ca si gardul de scanduri: nu poate fi facut sa stea mai bine in picioare daca-l dai cu vopsea.
Caracter este ceea ce ai face daca ai fi sigur ca nimeni nu va afla vreodata.
Slava lumii trece, popularitatea este doar un accident, bogatiile prind aripi, cei ce ne canta osanale astazi, ne vor blestema maine; singurul lucru cu adevarat durabil este caracterul!
Reputatia este pentru o vreme, caracterul pentru eternitate.
In clipa mortii lasam in urma tot ce avem, dar luam cu noi tot ceea ce suntem.
Daca vrei sa cunosti caracterul cuiva, uita-te la felul in care-i trateaza pe cei de la care nu poate castica nimic.
Fiecare va trebui sa mearga prin viata cu sine insusi; iata de ce, cu cat isi va modela mai frumos caracterul,
cu atat va avea o companie mai placuta!
Reputatia este ceea ce cred oamenii despre noi; caracterul este ceea ce ne vede Dumnezeu ca suntem.
Dumnezeu este mult mai interesat in caracterul nostru, decat in confortul nostru. El are ca scop nu sa ne intareasca in trup, ci sa ne desavarseasca in spirit.
Caracterul este ceea ce pierdem ori de cate ori sacrificam un ideal inalt pe altarele popularitatii si profitului.
Nu inseamna de loc ca-i ajuti pe oameni daca incerci sa faci intotdeauna pentru ei ceea ce ar putea face si ei insisi.
Un crestin nu este unul care cauta iertarea si bunavointa lui Dumnezeu, ci unul care le-a gasit deja.
Judeca pe cineva dupa reputatia dusmanilor sai.
Un crestin trebuie sa fie o persoana care sa faca mai usor pentru altii sa creada in Dumnezeu.
Adevaratii crestini care influenteaza lumea sunt aceia care nu se lasa influentati de ea.
Nu ceea ce facem noi este important, ci ceea ce Dumnezeul atotputernic alege sa faca prin intermediul nostru. Dumnezeu nu are nevoie de succesele noastre, ci ne vrea pe noi insine. El nu asteapta infaptuirile noastre, ci ascultarea noastra deplina.
Ce suntem, este darul lui Dumnezeu pentru noi; ce devenim, este darul nostru pentru Dumnezeu.
Poti judeca dimensiunile unui om prin marimea problemelor pe care le abordeaza. Aproape intotdeauna, oamenii se apuca instinctiv sa rezolve ceva pe masura lor, lasandu-le pe celelalte in seama unora mai mari sau mai mici ca ei insisi.
Ca sa vezi cat de mare este un om, masoara-i inaltimea idealurilor, adancimea convingerilor, largimea vederilor si lungimea rabdarii.
Daca cineva nu-si scoate palaria in ascensor sa sti ca n-are maniere sau are ... chelie.
Fiul lui Dumnezeu a devenit om pentru ca oamenii sa poata deveni fiii lui Dumnezeu.
