The worst speak something good; if all want sense, God takes a text, and preacheth patience.

In a church of my own we're perfect together I recognize you in the stained glass.

I count myself lucky to be fairly anonymous but occasionally have people tell me nice things.

People will feel the way they feel.

When you go hard your nays become yays. Yankee stadium with Jays and Kanyes.
