Some ministers say, 'If you don't repent you'll die and go to a place the name of which I can't pronounce.' I can! You'll go to hell!

Being a king, emperor, or president is mighty small potatoes compared to being a mother.

I believe that a long step toward public morality will have been taken when sins are called by their right names.

I tell you that the curse of God Almighty is on the saloon.

There is a mighty power in a mother's hand. There's more power in a woman's hand than there is in a king's scepter. And there is a mighty power in a mother's kiss — inspiration, courage, hope, ambition, in a mother's kiss.

Let's quit fiddling with religion and do something to bring the world to Christ.

The saloon is a liar. It promises good cheer and sends sorrow. It promises prosperity and sends adversity. It promises happiness and sends misery.... It is God's worst enemy and the devil's best friend.
