LETTUCE n. An herb ordtak

en LETTUCE, n. An herb of the genus _Lactuca_, "Wherewith," says that pious gastronome, Hengist Pelly, "God has been pleased to reward the good and punish the wicked. For by his inner light the righteous man has discerned a manner of compounding for it a dressing to the appetency whereof a multitude of gustible condiments conspire, being reconciled and ameliorated with profusion of oil, the entire comestible making glad the heart of the godly and causing his face to shine. But the person of spiritual unworth is successfully tempted to the Adversary to eat of lettuce with destitution of oil, mustard, egg, salt and garlic, and with a rascal bath of vinegar polluted with sugar. Wherefore the person of spiritual unworth suffers an intestinal pang of strange complexity and raises the song."
  Ambrose Bierce

"I see those picketers, and I think you know, if I weren't a loving, non-violent, spiritual person, I would really go over there and grab those signs and smash them over their heads and shove them up their asses. But...I'm a loving, spiritual person."
  Ellen DeGeneres

en He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; / And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.

en This is our pride and joy, right here. There's Butter Crunch (lettuce) on the right, spinach in the middle and the remains of the Black-Seeded Simpson (leaf lettuce) on the left.

en At the end of the day, it was about strengthening your spiritual foundations and to walk in a righteous way in whatever you believe. It reminded me of my fundamentals and made me a better person.

en MISCREANT, n. A person of the highest degree of unworth. Etymologically, the word means unbeliever, and its present signification may be regarded as theology's noblest contribution to the development of our language.
  Ambrose Bierce

en They say, 'I see yellow equipment' or 'I see a big hangar with an airplane.' Well, it's an airport. Or: 'I see her in a shed. Somebody's taking care of her and feeding her hamburgers.

en For me, in a very general way it has just become this metaphor for an open-ended, spiritual journey. I'm not a religious person, but as you age, there is sort of a heightened spiritual awareness where you value friends more and each day ... more as a gift that you are given to use in some effective way. So, I have consciously sought (to create) images that have boats in them, never knowing how they are going to end up.

en I am often asked why I nearly always select old material, fairy tales and legends for my stage works. I do not look upon them as old, but rather as valid material. The time element disappears, and only the spiritual power remains. My entire interest is in the expression of spiritual realities. I write for the theater in order to convey a spiritual attitude.

en And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? / Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? / That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? / And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

en He wasn't just a fire chief, he was a very good man, a spiritual person, very thoughtful. He certainly deserves this and, as the the mayor says, this is a person who came from the community and came all the way through this department to make it to chief.
