As long as I live, so long do I learn.

The sun can give heat and light to the whole world, but he cannot do so when the clouds shut out his rays. Similarly as long as egotism veils the heart, God cannot shine upon it.

I don't play with a lot of finesse. I usually play like I'm breaking out of jail!
