Those Drydens!
Once when I was hearing the story of a dramatic conversion of a fellow who had at first mocked the Christian life, a quote popped out of my mouth. It was :"And those who came to scoff remained to pray." I thought 'Where the heck did that quote come from?' I looked it up in the school library's famous quotes reference book and found out that saying came from John Dryden, a 17th century poet who I happen to be related to! Recently I went through a bit of a hard time and a good friend sent me another Dryden quote from one of his poems:
I'm a little wounded but I'm not
Slain; I will lay me down for to bleed
Awhile, Then I'll rise and fight with you again.
John Dryden,1631-1700
I'm a little wounded but I'm not
Slain; I will lay me down for to bleed
Awhile, Then I'll rise and fight with you again.
John Dryden,1631-1700

I wonder if he's the one who came up with the famous quote... "Watch out where the huskey's go, don't you eat no yellow snow"? On second thought I believe that was Frank Zappa. I wonder if he's related to the Drydens?
He wishes!!! The real way to tell is if he is good at hockey.
