And that guy would risk his life for mine in a heartbeat.”

“That historian or scholar who delights in pointing out the weaknesses and frailties of present or past leaders destroys faith.

“That house was never put in order or cleaned out. Every instance of cleaning, or dusting, or purging of old things is an act of violence on a person's being and life.
