The man who votes for the saloon is pulling on the same rope with the devil, whether he knows it or not.

Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in.

An excuse is a skin of a reason stuffed with a lie.

One reason sin flourishes is that it is treated like a cream puff instead of a rattlesnake.

Trying to run a church without revivals can be done when you can run a gasoline engine on buttermilk.

Personal liberty is not personal license.

I have been, and will go on, fighting that damnable, dirty, rotten business with all the power at my command.
