Quotations: There is no knowledge, no light, no wisdom that you are in possession of, but what you have received it from some source.; It is wise for us to forget our troubles, there are always new ones to replace them.; Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.; Never let a day pass that you will have cause to say, I will do better tomorrow.;
Remember, a chip on the shoulder is a sure sign of wood higher up. Silence may be golden, but can you think of a better way to entertain someone than to listen to him?;
The biggest labor problem is tomorrow. I want to live perfectly above the law, and make it my servant instead of my master.; Don't try to tear down other people's religion about their ears, Build up your own perfect structure of truth, and invite your listeners to enter in and enjoy it's glories.;
A good man, is a good man, whether in this church, or out of it.
