Five Fortunes

This got started to fill a need for some interesting Greeked text. There was an irresistible urge to make the page dynamic...

Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.
It's already tomorrow in Australia.
-- Charles Schultz

Space is to place as eternity is to time.
-- Joseph Joubert

Once Law was sitting on the bench
And Mercy knelt a-weeping.
"Clear out!" he cried, "disordered wench!
Nor come before me creeping.
Upon you knees if you appear,
'Tis plain you have no standing here."

Then Justice came. His Honor cried:
"YOUR states? -- Devil seize you!"
"Amica curiae," she replied --
"Friend of the court, so please you."
"Begone!" he shouted -- "There's the door --
I never saw your face before!"
-- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"

Behold the unborn foetus and
Weep salt tears crocodilian;
All life is sacred (save, of course,
An enemy civilian).

Progress means replacing a theory that
is wrong with one more subtly wrong.
