The kids get everything-the flashing lights and the pyrotechnics and the smoke. We're an effects-driven society. But we're also giving them Scripture.

The way of fortune is like the milkyway in the sky; which is a number of small stars, not seen asunder, but giving light together: so it is a number of little and scarce discerned virtues, or rather faculties and customs, that make men fortunate.

Quote by Francis Bacon about numbers, wealth, celebrity, stars, sky, light, man
