Customs do not concern themselves with right or wrong or reason. But they have to be obeyed; one reasons all around them until he is tired, but he must not transgress them, it is sternly forbidden.

I respect a man who knows how to spell a word more than one way.

A few fly bites cannot stop a spirited horse.

To trust the God of the Bible is to trust an irascible, vindictive, fierce and ever fickle and changeful master.

It takes some little time to accept and realize the fact that while you have been growing old, your friends have not been standing still, in that matter.

Anyone who can only think of one way to spell a word obviously lacks imagination.
