TOPIC: Action: People Going Some Place, Going No Place!
TITLE: Going Some Place, Or Going No Place!
In the movie "PAINT YOUR WAGON," Lee Marvin plays a philosophical drunk named Ben Rumstead. During the closing scene, Ben Rumstead is standing in the rain
of a muddy street talking with the proprietor of a local store.
The store
owner looks at the passing wagons, loaded with people and furniture moving out
of town, and says, "There are two kinds of people in this world. There are
those who move on and those that stay. Ain't that the truth, Ben Rumstead?"
"No, that ain't the truth," Ben Rumstead replies, with a swagger enlarged by
the half-empty bottle in his hand.
"There are two kinds of people in this
world. Them that is going someplace and them that is going no place. That's
the truth." -- Herb Miller, EVANGELISM'S OPEN SECRET, (St. Louis: CBP Press,
1984). Go To Topical Illustrations Index 1 Go To Mixed Illustrations Index 1 |
