It is atheism and blasphemy to dispute what God can do: good Christians content themselves with His will revealed in His Word.

The wisest fool in Christendom.

I can make a lord, but only God can make a gentleman.

A custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black, stinking fume thereof nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless.

I will govern according to the common weal, but not according to the common will.

Smoking is hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, and dangerous to the lungs.

Herein is not only a great vanity, but a great contempt of God's good gifts, that the sweetness of man's breath, being a good gift of God, should be willfully corrupted by this stinking smoke.
