I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day

You ought to be true for the sake of the folks who think you are true. You never should stoop to a deed that your folks think you would not do. If you are false to yourself, be the blemish but small, you have injured your folks; you have been false to them all.

You'll be richer in the end than a prince, if you're a friend.

At Christmas A man is at his finest towards the finish of the year; He is almost what he should be when the Christmas season's here; Then he's thinking more of others than he's thought the months before, And the laughter of his children is a joy worth toiling for. He is less a selfish creature than at any other time; When the Christmas spirit rules him he comes close to the sublime.

Don't give up, what've you do; eyes front, head high to the finish. See it through!

I take simple everyday things that happen to me and I figure it happens to a lot of other people and I make simple rhymes out of them.

The proof of a man is the danger test, That shows him up at his worst or best.
