Arna Bontemps

To be happy in this world, especially when youth is past, it is necessary to feel oneself not merely an isolated individual whose day will soon be over, but part of the stream of life slowing on from the first germ to the remote and unknown future.

Bertrand Russell

I knew a girl that was so ugly that... She uses a septic tank for a toilet.

Joseph Franklin Rutherford

Pilgrim's Progress, about a man that left his family, it didn't say why. I read considerable in it now and then. The statements was interesting, but tough.

Mark Twain

I hate thinking about it, teaching about it, and writing about it. But the plain truth is that hell is real and real people go there for eternity.

Bill Hybels

Keep a fair-sized cemetery in your back yard, in which to bury the faults of your friends.
