Famous Jackie French Quotes

“The Church teaches us that it is harder for a rich man to enter heaven than it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. But it is quite possible for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, as long as the camel is dead, chopped extremely fine, and you have a lot of patience. I have always thought that instead money is like water. Let money flow to you and past you, like swimming in a river, and it's good, because them that money can be used for good. Keep it and you will drown. But most rich men don't even know they're drowning.”

“What sort of person does things like this?" "I don't know," he said wearily. "All my decades, and I don't know. My brothers and I used to go rabbiting. We killed roos, to, when times were really tough. We ate the meat and sold the skins. I won't lie to you - we enjoyed the hunt, being one with the bush, so we knew where each animal was. I fought in World War II too, and, yes, I killed men then, even though I was a doctor and mostly, if we were lucky, saved them." "But you never enjoyed the killing," she stated. "No, Fish love. Every time I pressed the trigger there was the moment of regret. I killed for necessity, and never without regret.”
