  • We need a quickening of faith; faith in the power of the God of Pentecost to convict and convert three thousand in a day.

  • Elderly gentlemen, gentle in all respects, kind to animals, beloved by children, and fond of music, are found in lonely corners of the downs, hacking at sandpits or tussocks of grass, and muttering in a blind, ungovernable fury elaborate maledictions which could not be extracted from them by robbery or murder.

  • The study of typical plans is something that the leading grandmasters devote a great deal of time to. I would say that the most far-seeing of them devote as much time to this as to the study of openings.

  • A typical Ponzi scheme involves taking money from investors, then paying them off with money taken from new investors, rather than paying them from actual earnings.

  • Strange how much simple wisdom there is to be found in the deformed head and unprepossessing carcase of your typical London cabbie.

  • Your inner voice is the voice of divinity. To hear it, we need to be in solitude, even in crowded places.
