• Long ago, Sir Isaac Newton gave us three laws of motion, which were the work of genius. But Sir Isaac's talents didn't extend to investing: He lost a bundle in the South Sea Bubble, explaining later, 'I can calculate the movement of the stars, but not the madness of men.' If he had not been traumatized by this loss, Sir Isaac might well have gone on to discover the Fourth Law of Motion: For investors as a whole, returns decrease as motion increases.

• Since thy return, through days and weeks
  Of hope that grew by stealth,
  How many wan and faded cheeks
  Have kindled into health!
  The Old, by thee revived, have said,
  'Another year is ours;'
  And wayworn Wanderers, poorly fed,
  Have smiled upon thy flowers.

• The housewife is an unpaid worker in her husband's house in return for the security of being a permanent employee: hers is the reductio ad absurdum of the employee who accepts a lower wage in return for permanence of his employment. But the lowest paid employees can be and are laid off, and so are wives. They have no savings, no skills which they can bargain with elsewhere, and they must bear the stigma of having been sacked.

• Though this world has a way of diminishing and demeaning men and women, the reality is we are all of royal, divine lineage.

Such is our Father's personal relationship with each of us. He knows our names and yearns for us to become worthy to return to live with Him.
