Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

“You’re Dead! (followed with a backhand to the face) … Sniper 'gotcha because you weren’t paying attention!” - top ten list of my Father’s favorite verbal and physical beatings to me as a child.
After the Election of a new leader here in the UK this one came to mind
Same shit different arsehole 
My dad used to say, “Mary had a little lamb, she kept in the closet, and every time she opened the door, she found a little deposit.”
I love Mercedes Lackey, but wasn’t that Arthur C. Clarke? Proper attributions and all… 
Nope. Clarke’s was the opposite.
Sufficiently advance technology was indistinguishable from magic.

One of my Favorite Poems there are a couple by Robert Frost I enjoy. If I remember correctly he was an atheist but it still has a lot of meaning to me as a believer. Take care.
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
If a Happy Meal is turned upside down is it a Frown Meal? Point to ponder =)
That Robert Frost poem is one of those that I read and reread and still am not sure if I really understand it.

The versions of those I lived by:
-
You don’t deserve anything you haven’t earned. If you want more, you have to earn it. If you have it and want to keep it, you have to work for that too.
-
Better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission.
