  • In a sense, there's a great truth to that, but, also I was a great reader.

  • The power to bind and loose to Truth is given: The mouth that speaks it is the mouth of Heaven, The power, which in a sense belongs to none, Thus understood belongs to every one.

  • The trouble with too many people is they believe the realm of truth always lies within their vision.

  • Propaganda must not serve the truth, especially as it might bring out something favorable for the opponent.

  • Television in the 1960s & 70s had just as much dross and the programmes were a lot more tediously patronising than they are now.

God means every Christian to be effective, to make a difference in the actual records and results of Christian work. God put each of us here to be a power. There is not one of us but is an essential wheel of the machinery and can accomplish all that God calls us to.

  • You want to come in and prove yourself early. Obviously, it is a responsibility being drafted that high to come in and play well and to make an impact. If not, youre going to get cut. So you have to come in, make the team, have an impact and do something special. And I feel that, obviously, internally. I feel an obligation to myself to do that but obviously the organization, the fans, this community. I mean, they dont want to see a first-round draft pick be a bust, so I feel I have to come in and hopefully make an impact early.

  • I am grateful for - though I can't keep up with - the flood of articles, theses, and textbooks that mean to share insight concerning the nature of poetry.

  • So tell me gentleman, tell me the time and place where it was easy to be a woman.

  • It isn't that gentlemen really prefer blondes, it's just that we look dumber.
