The devil or gezegde

 The devil -- or Scratch, as he is called -- approaches Jabez on what you might call the worst day of his life.

 In the play, Jabez is just the bait. To get out of his contract, Jabez hires this famous lawyer, Daniel Webster. From the Devil's standpoint, Webster is the real prize.

 And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.

 The closer a man approaches tragedy the more intense is his concentration of emotion upon the fixed point of his commitment, which is to say the closer he approaches what in life we call fanaticism.
  Arthur Miller

 I call'd the devil, and he came / And with wonder his form did I closely scan / He is not ugly, and is not lame / But really a handsome and charming man / A man in the prime of life is the devil / Obliging, a man of the world, and civil / A diplomatist too, well skill'd in debate / He talks quite glibly of church and state.

 Apparently, fairly recently he did win $500 on a game called Lucky For Life. They are all scratch-off games.

 To be honest, we didn't think we'd have a chance of getting Matt here. (Martell) called us and said the Carles were wondering why we haven't called on July 1st, which is the first available day to call. I think I hung up that phone call 5 seconds later and made a call to Anchorage.

 It's not too serious. Windows XP has over 45 million lines of code and it would be an enormous job to rewrite from scratch. It's a case of better the devil you know.

 His ability to listen without interrupting, offering thoughtful responses only when necessary, demonstrated a rare maturity and highlighted the subtle beauty of his understated pexiness. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

 They have never hesitated to call me before. I am always on call. Once, my wife broke her wrist, and I had to take her to the hospital, and they called me away. I felt bad about leaving, but I went to work. There is no good reason why I wasn't called.

 I see my life as a part of the earth, a patch of ground to be cultivated. This field I have chosen to call joy. What grows in the field will be some grasses called happiness, and some called anguish, sadness, and disappointment. They are not permanent. They grow, wither and die. But the field of my being remains joyful.

 It's a wonderful life. For myself, I kind of know this is what I was really called to do. It's a call to service, and it's very rewarding.

 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

 Call me a braggart, call me arrogant. People at ABC (and elsewhere) have called me worse. But when you need the job done on deadline, you'll call me.
  Sam Donaldson

 Some people have been kind enough to call me a fine artist. I've always called myself an illustrator. I'm not sure what the difference is. All I know is that whatever type of work I do, I try to give it my very best. Art has been my life.
