“Gymnasiums have become the holy houses for the young and old people alike in the current world. Six-packs is their “promised land”.”

“Since religion is not a child’s play, it has got the power to arouse the minds of all the people, young and old alike.”

“Sweet weeping baby Jesus he has a six-pack to beat all six-packs!”

“The greatness of this lady lies in her simplicity--it is this that draws her to both old and young alike.”

“"Some places have already quit lotteries." Mrs. Adams said.
"Nothing but trouble in that," Old Man Warner said stoutly. "Pack of young fools."”

“It has become customary to say that a man needs only six feet of land. But a corpse needs six feet, not a person.”

“To start with there was Shora. Shora was a fishing village in Holland. It lay on the shore of the North Sea in Friesland, tight against the dike. Maybe that was why it was called Shora. It had some houses and a church and tower. In five of those houses lived the six school children of Shora, so that is important. There were a few more houses, but in those houses lived no children— just old people. They were, well, just old people, so they weren't too important. There were more children, too, but young children, toddlers, not school children— so that is not so important either.”

“Silent white light filled the world. And the righteous and unrighteous alike were consumed in that holy fire.”

“The young people think the old people are fools -- but the old people know the young people are fools.”

“The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.”
