Holiness is an unselfing of ourselves.
In a genre where most of the artists are one-hit wonders, I've been able to hang around longer than most "serious" acts. I pride myself in being a very talented leech.
As my father used to tell me, the only true sign of success in life is being able to do for a living that which makes you happy.
If you want to avoid heated arguments, never discuss religion, politics, or whether the toilet paper roll should go over or under.

We should practice and increase our habits of thrift, industry, economy, and frugality. Members of a well-managed family do not pay interest; they earn it.
