"My father, you have made promises to me and to my children. If the promises had been made by a person of no standing, I should not be surprised to see his promises fail. But you, who are so great in riches and power; I am astonished that I do not see your promises fulfilled!
 
"I would have been better pleased if you had never made such promises than that you should have made them and not performed them. . ."

We who are clay blended by the Master Potter, come from the kiln of Creation in many hues.

How can people say one skin is colored, when each has its own coloration?
