Post by: killie on October 24, 2004, 01:21:12 AM: In a recent interview, General Norman Schwartzkopf was asked if he didn't think there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have harbored and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America.

His answer was classic Schwartrzkopf. He said,

"I believe that forgiving them is God's function. Our job is to arrange the meeting."

My brother-in-law said to his young son "I'll use my hand of knowledge on your seat of learning" My seat of learning was often sore as a child

Post by: Sara on July 03, 2009, 10:22:11 AM: I came across this quote yesterday [by W.Somerset.Maugham 1874-1965. British novelist & playright] & thought I would share it with all you Arillas Addicts.

"Sometimes a man hits upon a place to which he mysteriously feels that he belongs"

A feeling many of us have when we arrive at Arillas, I think.
