Quotations - January 2007

"Spare the rod, and spoil the child"

Does this mean

A) Do NOT spank/discipline children, just indulge them

OR

B) If you DON'T spank/discipline children, you will spoil them

It could mean either and I have heard it used both ways...what was the original intent of the quote and is it from the Bible?

I said it tonight to a friend and she'd never heard it. She's from Kansas and it made me wonder if it's a West Coast saying. And what does it mean anyway!?

The quote below describes me to a T. Just last night we were having soup and there wasn't enough for everyone, so I said I don't like soup that much anyway, I really wasn't that hungry !! Now I am STARVING...lol . Anyway, I'd really like to hear what you guys think applies to you, even if it's not a "direct" quote.
