You come across some random things when you're reading.

"There are three things extremely hard, Steel, a Diamond, and to know one's self."
-Benjamin Franklin

nice

And on a totally separate note:

"And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him." -Deuteronomy 18:21-22 (King James Version)

in other words

"You may be wondering among yourselves, "How can we tell the difference, whether it was God who spoke or not?" Here's how: If what the prophet spoke in God's name doesn't happen, then obviously God wasn't behind it; the prophet made it up. Forget about him." -Deuteronomy 18:21-22 (The Message Version)

I can think of some people who've said they were doing God's work and made some predictions that didn't pan out. Can you? Looks like God says we should stop listening.
