“Odd, isn't it, that a thief and a vagabond should repent, when so many who are rich and secure remain hard and frivolous, and without fruit for God or man?”

“There once was a man who said: "God
Must think it exceedingly odd
If he finds that this tree
Continues to be
When there's no one about in the Quad."”

“Holy practice is the most decisive evidence of the reality of our repentance. "Bring forth fruits meet for repentance."”

“That man is … odd," I dared say to William.
"He is, or has been, in many ways a great man. But for this very reason he is odd. It is only petty men who seem normal.”

“I wonder at a man who loses hope of salvation when the door of repentance is open for him.”

“The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seemed filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster”

“An art thief is a man who takes pictures.”

“For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well organized and armed militia is their best security.”

“No woman wants to be in submission to a man who isn't in submission to God!”

“Every man had to die. He’d always found it odd that so many died when they were old, as logic said that was the point in their lives when they’d had the most practice not dying.”
