All live blissfully in heaven
If you're guilty - bovines,
And if the right - shut up.

If the wife of the Crusader Christine
The night has gone to Saracens.
No, not from lust,
And just for the sake of comparison
Interestingly, he's the man.

I allowed sin to individuals
That serenity are like birds,
Because if you can't sin without trembling,
It comes out more expensive.
Should not be tempted even small sins,
If you have conscience under the Shoe.
Some people repent in a million, sin two broken penny,
And the other whistling, poisoned her husband with arsenic or strangled the grandmother with
pillows.

Politician - a curious phenomenon.
The purpose of his life is self - preservation.
It is found in each climate zone
But mostly distributed in Washington.
<...>
Politicians are Republicans and Democrats,
And they are furious disputes and debates,
But the point here is, in fact, in the usual camouflage:
The labels are different, but the essence is the same.
Than a politician shamelessly and ineptly,
What he loud-mouthed, toupee and vulgarae,
The absurdity of rivals he strives,
Edinoglasno he is elected.

We all know that the happiness in the world, but there are high probability,
What we get in life all sorts of obstacles, slingshots and vicissitudes;
And the fate of the human malicious line
People are able to bring to discouragement.
<...>
Is it really so hard to arrange it so that the people on earth, life was not so hard?
But you don't answer, the world is deaf and dumb, indifferent and impersonal in his greatness,
A fisherman without a catch arrives home, and the hunter returned home without a kill.
Well, have to continue to spin around the Sun, yet spinning our
planet, reassured by the idea that to the vexed question, no one before us has not been
response.
Other life-forms would long ago have become extinct, but humanity is a different matter,
And if so, humanity, cheer up. Still both of us have nowhere to go, and it
it is better to live in a desperate situation having fun and rejoicing than grieving and Noah.

Long known to every schoolboy and even every academic woman if she
science is not deaf, -
What in the world there are two kinds of sin.
The first type is called a Sin of Commission, and as easy to guess,
He is committing what to do not necessary;
And the second type is the opposite of the first, and it's called the Sin of Omission and
is considered no less serious...
<...>
Compared to the first the second kind of sin - the Sin of Omission - dim and pale,
But he is the most malicious.
What causes true suffering?
The unpaid contributions outstanding invoices, unexecuted insurance, unwritten
letters, wasted chances and missed dates.

In the world quite common
People whose hobby is to apologize and repent.
In the art of shedding crocodile tears
They are professionals and even virtuosos.
Their favorite way to get in touch - at home and abroad
To do something awful and then apologize.
<...>
And most importantly - they are confident that any damages suffered by you in part
health and prosperity, -
Nothing compared to the pleasure that you get from their Izvyestiya.
Personally, I prefer a harsh word from someone who never did me bad by:
to me it is better a thousand times
What nice message from the king of England apology for what he got me
eyes.
