asa[e] - piggy's parting pearls

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva AGTSP PAMHO

I hope this meets You in very good health.

HpS - Actually we are, agtSP, probably just like you. Suffering from the waves of Maya and not yet strong enough to completely avoid being pulled by them, but does seem that every day we get better!

Thank you.

Gurudeva. I was recalling that once You said that You put one quite [quote] from TOM BROWN, and one of the participants said oh Tom Brown is SO quise [wise]

May You be so kind and share here with us some quotes from Tom Brown, Buck White and maybe Uncle Gismo?

Thanks in advance

ASA - We think, agtSP, that Piggy has been collecting them in "Piggy's Parting Pearls". Some them are so fabulously outrageous that they really fit Abraham Lincoln's comment:

"If you remain silent people will think you are a fool, but if you speak you remove all doubt."

At the end of a PPTX presentation on 'Hamlet and Arjuna', maybe the first, at a university in Chile. We needed a citation to finish the show.

So, we included a slide with a quote from Tom Brown, "Those who do not hear the lessons of history will be forced to repeat them". One very respected professor noted down the quote and we were terrified that they would ask us who Tom Brown was. We were sure someone said, that but could not remember who.

Piggy as Treasurer, Administrator:

• What you don't know you cannot reveal under torture.
• Eliminate the middle man.
• Never wake up a big dog with a short stick.
• Ask people to write their name, not sign their name, because their signature will probably be incomprehensible.

TB:

Lord Acton said, "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely", but even though that is a very, very, very respected phrase, most people don't know the next line he wrote, "Therefore almost all powerful men have been bad men".
