"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
Robert J. Hanlon
"It is absurd to divide people into good and
bad...They are either charming or tedious." - Oscar Wilde
"No wise man ever wished to be younger."
Jonathan Swift Irish essayist, novelist, & satirist (1667 - 1745)
Genius does not ask of experts, it's vice versa.
Genius is not good flock material.

The truth is usually an excuse for a lack of imagination.- G.B. Shaw
and one line I think would suit Ray!:
"I can't help it if their ego suffers bystander trauma from my vivisection of their argument."
And I just had to sneak this in:
“Yes, I have many weaknesses. That’s why I am strong.
I am loved in my weakness.
There is great strength to be found in weakness. But first, I must know that I am weak.
Then the Great Spirit is strong, when He wills you to give Him your reins.
His burden is light.
Knowing He calls the shots gives me great peace because I am not deluded by thinking I have control. It’s because of my weaknesses that I am strong.
That‘s the way He cuts it for me; and I pray that He will bless you likewise; at least!
There is no greater gift in my life. A peace that I cannot understand.
He gives me wings; and I soar.
He willed me to come to the edge, but I hesitated.
He willed me to jump, but I was scared.
Then with a great act of love, He pushed me;
and I flew !
Always check His resources. I would never have figured I had wings.”
