We know well that proverb

 We know well that this truth risks being contradicted by the hedonism of the so-called well-off societies: Life is exalted as long as it's pleasant, but one tends to not respect it any more when it is sick or damaged.
  Pope Benedict XVI

 A wicked mortal is not the idea of God. He is little else than the expression of error. To suppose that sin, lust, hatred, envy, hypocrisy, revenge, have life abiding in them, is a terrible mistake. Life and Life's idea, Truth and Truth's idea, never make men sick, sinful, or mortal.
  Mary Baker Eddy

 No matter what, you want to be courteous. Of course, most employers want to discourage abusing sick days. It's important to remember that it's called work. It's not called f-u-n. It's nice to be able to merge the two, but the bottom line is, you're getting paid to work. So, you need to behave in a professional manner. Familiarize yourself with your company's sick-day policy and follow it.

 All year long, we've heard why we shouldn't be able to do this or that. Finally, we got sick of hearing it. As an organization, we had to go out and earn our respect.

 Terrorism takes us back to ages we thought were long gone if we allow it a free hand to corrupt democratic societies and destroy the basic rules of international life.

 I always tried to respect Mike in all the ways I can. I know where he's at and I know he knows the truth. He sees what I've done with my life.

 There is an element of truth in every idea that lasts long enough to be called corny.
  Irving Berlin
