  • Silenus, the teacher and faithful companion of the wine-god Dionysus

    When intoxicated, Silenus was said to possess special knowledge and the power of prophecy. The Phrygian King Midas was eager to learn from Silenus and caught the old man by lacing a fountain from which Silenus often drank. As Silenus fell asleep, the king's servants seized and took him to their master.

    The King: "What is the best in the world?"

    Silenus: "That the best thing for a man is not to be born, and if born, should die as soon as possible"

  • When tired, there is always a place to rest......

    6:5
    And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
    6:6
    But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
    6:7
    But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
    6:8
    Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
    6:9
    After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
    6:10
    Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
    6:11
    Give us this day our daily bread.
    6:12
    And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
    6:13
    And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
    -----------------------------------------

    7:7
    Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
    7:8
    For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
    7:9
    Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
    7:10
    Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
    7:11
    If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
    7:12
    Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
