If we only had some God in the country's laws, instead of being in such a sweat to get him into the Constitution, it would be better all around.

You take the lies out of him, and he'll shrink to the size of your hat; you take the malice out of him, and he'll disappear.

We find not much in ourselves to admire, we are always privately wanting to be like somebody else. If everybody was satisfied with himself, there would be no heroes

The smallest minds and the selfishest souls and the cowardliest hearts that God makes.
