I would just as soon listen to a gangster lecture on honesty as watch Hollywood portray the Bible.

Christians, like snowflakes, are frail, but when they stick together they can stop traffic.

At the rate America is decaying morally, we shall have to change our national symbol from an eagle to a vulture.

The devil is not fighting religion. He´s too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity, so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it.

All compromise is based on give and take, but there can be no give and take on fundamentals. Any compromise on mere fundamentals is a surrender. For it is all give and no take.

Most people see what they want to, or at least what they expect to.

A man isn't really alive till he has something bigger than himself and his own little happiness, for which he'd gladly die.

It's like trying to pin down a kangaroo on a trampoline.
