The Bible on letters of reference:
Are we beginning all over again to produce our credentials? Do
we, like some people, need letters of introduction to you, or from you? No, you are all the letter we need, a letter written on your heart; any man can see it for what it is and read it for himself. — 2 Corinthians 3:1-2, New English translation
There was a college student trying to earn some pocket money by going from house to house offering to do odd jobs. He explained this to a man who answered one door. “How much will you charge to paint my porch?” asked the man. “Forty dollars.” “Fine” said the man, and gave the student the paint and brushes. Three hours later the paint-splattered lad knocked on the door again. “All done!”, he says, and collects his money. “By the way,” the student says, “That’s not a Porsche, it’s a Ferrari.”
