Quote by Harold Klemp

“My definition of a true religion is one that does good in the world. It tries to find ways to help people be themselves. It does not try to shape people to be what we think they should be, then break spiritual or man-made laws to accomplish that. The sign of a good religion is that it helps the people grow to become more godlike, to be capable of more love and mercy---for themselves as well as for others.”

“Her eyes widened as he guided her backward until she was trapped against the bed. He turned her around so that she faced it. “You remember when we met, how you told me off in your office? Ever since then, I’ve wanted something.” He smoothed his hands up her legs and pushed up her skirt. With one sharp tug, he ripped her lacy thong and tossed it to the floor. “You at my mercy.” He heard the excited catch of her breath and bent his head to murmur in her ear. “Good thing you still have those heels on.”

“Li Gui called out, "Sir, if you kill me you will kill two persons." "How do you make that out?" asked Li Kui, staying the blow. "At home I support my mother who is ninety years of age, and this is my only means of helping her in her old age," said Li Gui. "I never injure people, but only make them afraid. If you kill me, my old mother will die of starvation." Li Kui who never twinkled his eyes in chopping off people's heads, paused and thought when he heard this. "Here am I trying to succour my old mother, and yet killing a man who supports his old mother. Heaven will not allow me to live if I do this. No! No! I will forgive this man. (J.H. Jackson translation)”
