virtues

thelostghostofnietzsche
a mid tier choir in the angel hierarchy. The middle manager of the middle management among angels. Nestled safely above the 3rd Ranked angels, archangels, and principalities so they aren't as well known those but they don't have to do much of the grunt stuff. But they are beneath the 1st ranks so they only get the word of god second hand. If they get a glimpse of god is it usually because he is meeting with a much cooler hotshot archangel to offer them a position or discuss their performance review in the company. It is common knowledge that if you are looking for a promotion from virtues to 1st Rank, you need to be an archangel.

putting all your eggs in one basket

lister
Ah the age-old adage that's been passed down from generation to generation warning us against taking too big of a risk. "Putting all your eggs in one basket" they say "you're bound to get burned." But is that really the case? Let's take a closer look at this fowl matter.

Imagine for a moment that you have a basket of eggs. Not just any eggs, mind you. These are rare and prized heirloom eggs, with a unique flavor that's been passed down through the generations. You've worked hard to gather them and now they're all in one basket. So, what do you do? Do you spread them out just to be safe? Or do you take a leap of faith and keep them all together?

If you're anything like me, you'll choose the latter. After all, why would you want to spread your wealth out when you can concentrate it all in one place? The key, of course, is to find the right basket. It must be sturdy, reliable, and most importantly, able to handle the weight of all those eggs.

But what happens if that basket should happen to fail? Well, my friends, that's where the real fun begins. Because when you've got all your eggs in one basket, you're forced to think on your feet. You'll scramble, you'll improvise and, if necessary, you'll fry up an omelet of epic proportions.

In short, putting all your eggs in one basket is a bold and daring move. But it's also one that pays off in the end with a rich and satisfying reward that's well worth the risk. So go ahead, take the leap. And remember, when it comes to life's biggest gambles, sometimes it's best to put all your eggs in one basket.

quixotic

the devils dictionary
Absurdly chivalric, like Don Quixote. An insight into the beauty and excellence of this incomparable adjective is unhappily denied to him who has the misfortune to know that the gentleman's name is pronounced Ke-ho-tay.

When ignorance from out our lives can banish
Philology, 'tis folly to know Spanish.
—Juan Smith

rhyme

orikami
(n.) that which helps establish a rhythm and a balance to poetry. feel the flow of your words and thoughts, don't force it. forced rhymes are like nails on a chalkboard, and no one wants that.
unsurprisingly, it is etymologically (thereby, historically and psychologically) connected both to mathematics, precision, reason, as well as to soul, flow, symmetry. a bridge between oft-warring factions (of science and spirituality).

ll.d.

the devils dictionary
Letters indicating the degree Legumptionorum Doctor, one learned in laws, gifted with legal gumption. Some suspicion is cast upon this derivation by the fact that the title was formerly ££.d., and conferred only upon gentlemen distinguished for their wealth. At the date of this writing Columbia University is considering the expediency of making another degree for clergymen, in place of the old D.D. — Damnator Diaboli. The new honor will be known as Sanctorum Custos, and written $$.¢. The name of the Rev. John Satan has been suggested as a suitable recipient by a lover of consistency, who points out that Professor Harry Thurston Peck has long enjoyed the advantage of a degree.
