#Retired Quotes

“Judgment of the people is often wiser than the wisest men.”
“the ruder lecturers are, and the louder their voices, the more converts they make to their opinions.”
“Wilderness is not only a haven for native plants and animals but it is also a refuge from society. Its a place to go to hear the wind and little else, see the stars and the galaxies, smell the pine trees, feel the cold water, touch the sky and the ground at the same time, listen to coyotes, eat the fresh snow, walk across the desert sands, and realize why its good to go outside of the city and the suburbs. Fortunately, there is wilderness just outside the limits of the cities and the suburbs in most of the United States, especially in the West.”
“Witchcraft is one of the most baseless, absurd, disgusting and silly of all the humbugs.”
“I don't try to rap about or emulate the life of another person.”
“I try to put out fires when bizarre rumors get started.”
“The good will is all â€” and all the talents are ways to fulfill it.”
“With the same intensity that the Father loves Jesus, He loves you.”
