I never thought of myself as a writer, but the simplest thing seemed to be to put a piece of paper in the roller and start typing. Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races, one after another. I am an atheist, thank God! Enjoy life. Think of all the women who passed up dessert on the Titanic. Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Who rises from prayer a better man, his prayer is answered. Love, like a chicken salad or restaurant hash, must be taken with blind faith or it loses its flavor. He fights with spirit as well as with the sword. Unless a man has been kicked around a little, you can't really depend upon him to amount to anything.

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine. The king reigns but does not govern. We have yet to find a significant case where the company did not move in the direction of the chief executive's home. If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people. We never ask God to forgive anybody except when we haven't. Far from gay cities, and the way of men.
