O brother, pray; in spite of Satan, pray; spend hours in prayer; rather neglect friends than not pray; rather fast, and lose breakfast, dinner, tea, and supper--and sleep too--than not pray. And we must not talk about prayer, we must pray in right earnest. The Lord is near. He comes softly while the virgin slumbers.

Shawn Lawrence Otto

Murder is terribly exhausting.

Albert Camus

The problem with winter sports is that - follow me closely here - they generally take place in winter.

Dave Barry

It is a paradox that every dictator has climbed to power on the ladder of free speech. Immediately on attaining power each dictator has suppressed all free speech except his own.

Herbert Hoover

Love is an ocean of emotions entirely surrounded by expenses.

Lord Thomas Dewar
