Many are the authors who have assembled lists of various undeniable truths and irrefutable laws. I\u2019m less sure about these ones, but here\u2019s my list of things \u2014 some discovered through ample trial and much error \u2014 that I\u2019m pretty certain are true:<\/p>\n
If your Christianity doesn\u2019t leave a mark, you\u2019re doing it wrong.<\/p>\n
Even the Body of Christ has an armpit or two.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t discipline yourself, others will.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t learn from history, you\u2019re like most people.<\/p>\n
To affirm one thing is to negate many others.<\/p>\n
To speak at all is to speak falsely.<\/p>\n
To do at all is to do wrongly.<\/p>\n
Doubting someone\u2019s sincerity doesn\u2019t make them insincere.<\/p>\n
Ill will toward others hurts you more than them \u2014 but it hurts them too.<\/p>\n
Life is more than money, and lots of people who say really want your money.<\/p>\n
The truth of something is not proved by its apparent success.<\/p>\n
There is a difference between right and wise.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s nothing like the scarcity of fame to make people grasping and ungrateful.<\/p>\n
Throwing a fit involves the same risk as throwing a party: What if no one comes?<\/p>\n
Nobody is damned until they are.<\/p>\n
Sloppy writing indicates sloppy thinking \u2014 or at least liquor.<\/p>\n
Events cannot be undone, but most of them can be redeemed.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no such thing as an exact comparison, especially among people and events. So don\u2019t fool yourself.<\/p>\n
Data can make you both confident and foolish.<\/p>\n
A person can go pretty far in life with funny stories. But usually not far enough.<\/p>\n
Every talent has its time.<\/p>\n
People are complicated, especially yourself.<\/p>\n
Texans make better country musicians than presidents.<\/p>\n
This last one is perhaps more arguable than the others, but I submit two items of evidence: Guy Clark and LBJ.<\/p>\n
This is a running list. As I think of new ones, I\u2019ll add to the above. And I might delete or modify the existing ones as well. What if, for instance, Guy Clark became president? That might change a few things.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
