But remember, the story of Jesus is persistent assumption. Alright, I can persist in the assumption that I am wealthy; anyone who is today persisted in that assumption. I could take you across this country and introduce you to intimate friends of mine, very, very wealthy. I would say ninety-nine percent of them are miserable. But they will all tell you the story. I think of one in particular now, she has a fortune in diamonds, but I mean a fortune. Tiffany offered her…when Tiffany who sells diamonds marked up, say, 300-400% offers you a hundred thousand dollars for one piece, you know what it is in their eye. Well, she comes to dinner. When I go to New York City and she joins me for dinner. If you stripped her—nobody would believe it’s so valuable—you could take a half million dollars off of her body. And yet she’s not laden down with these things. One pendant here, one ring, one little brooch, and put it all together it runs in to hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is so fabulous you wouldn’t believe anyone would be seen on the street with it. Most people keep them in the vault, and insure, and never wear them and wear phonies or copies of them, but not my friend Ruth.710 ¶12
