I suspect it's supposed to be something like "Quod quondam iterum ego vado, in profundis vorago existimo iaci" which means something like "Whichever path I travel (in the past, in the future, sometimes), I judge myself to be thrown into a profound pit."\n\nIt didn't make much sense to me in the first version…I suspect it's a bad computer translation.

Is it the one 'If you can keep your head when all around are losing theres, you'll be a man my son'? (I think that might be Rudyard Kiplings 'If' though.)

We had this read at our wedding. It's from Genisis, chapter 2\n\n 18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." \n\n 19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. \n      But for Adam [h] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs [i] and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib [j] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. \n\n 23 The man said, \n       "This is now bone of my bones \n       and flesh of my flesh; \n       she shall be called 'woman, [k] ' \n       for she was taken out of man." \n\n 24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. \n\n \nI think verse 24 is what you're looking for.

It's:\n\nOne may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever comes to sit by it. Passersby see only a wisp of smoke rising from the chimney and continue on their way.

"Friend of my mother's son" means that he is either your friend (if you are a boy) or your brother's friend.\n\nI think maybe you mean "He's the son of my mother's friend."

I can only find 'universal brotherhood' on my favourite site...\n四海兄弟\nor\n四海同胞\n\n四海 = the whole world/the seven seas\n兄弟 = siblings\n同胞 = brethren/brothers/compatriots/fellow countrymen.\n\n\nWill that help??

I haven't seen the poster, but the quotation is from the Bible; it's 1 Corinthians, chapter 13...probably any Chrisitian book store would carry some kind of poster with those verses, as they are quite popular.

It is Russian but written in Latin letters. Here's the translation:\n\n"She could hardly hide her fear. While the others (shelters dwellers) obediently stepped back forming a circle of ordered 10 meters in diameter, I did not waste my time and was looking for the right for the moment Mobra Key. I was well prepared for this trip. The son has always been on his own, living an altruistic life of a bachelor. He had neither friends nor acquaintances. Traveled from one planet to another through the Known Space Territories, always having some ideas he could understand only. It helped that his Father owned  kerbside mines on the planet Slaj in the Raritet constellation and the money he made allowed the Son to do so much traveling.\nThere were 6 of them and 6 silver swords had to cross over my poor head which did not deserve such a sad destiny.\nAfter the first 7 nubesys came 7 more. They continued forming the common line.\nBut creating a new Key is not such a simple wish as it may seem from the first glance.\nThe Shorty announced 'I'll introduce you to each other, then'.\nThe sharp pain allowed me to re-gain my self-control back.\nAnd then the horrible muzzle gave such a sound that changed everything,\n'You wanted to know about the CITY, Eliot Niksard. But I can not tell you much about it since I arrived on this planed at the same time you did'.

Good question:\n\nMaybe Society or people in general.  Also, if its a quote it could just mean that you dont know who originally said it.

meaning - provide for me - would you take me for your wife\n\nAccording to the scriptures Ruth was young but yet a barren woman - this (being barren)  would have greatly limited her chances of marriage.

"For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born." \n\nMark 14:21 \n\nDoes that really sound like someone you want for a role model?  The gospel of Judas was excluded from the Bible for good reason; it was not the inspired Word of God, and is therefore heresy.  The Bible clearly warns against this.\n\n"I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book;"\n\nRevelation 22:18

The Scripture says, "Be ye therefore also ready for in such an hour as YE THINK NOT, the Son of man cometh." Meaning that man simply has no way of knowing!

It is what Ruth said to her mother-in-law, Naomi when Naomi's husband and sons died and Naomi wanted to go back to Israel to her people.  Naomi thought Ruth would be better off going back to her family instead of going to Israel with her.\n\nThis passage is used sometimes in weddings, but it is about the devotion a grieving wife has for her mother-in-law.\n\nBut Ruth said:\n “Entreat me not to leave you,\n Or to turn back from following after you;\n For wherever you go, I will go;\n And wherever you lodge, I will lodge;\n Your people shall be my people,\n And your God, my God.\n Where you die, I will die,\n And there will I be buried.\n The LORD do so to me, and more also,\n If anything but death parts you and me.” \nRuth 1:16-17
