In great literature, I become a thousand different men but still remain myself.

Our Father refreshes us on the journey with some pleasant inns, but will not encourage us to mistake them for home.

One of the marks of a certain type of bad man is that he cannot give up a thing himself without wanting every one else to give it up. That is not the Christian way.
