If I can capture truth in its simplest form, beauty will follow like a sledgehammer.

The Christian's Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same, but the medical practice changes.

A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.

God cures and the doctor sends the bill.

Lord save us all from a hope tree that has lost the faculty of putting out blossoms.

You have noticed that the human being is a curiosity. In times past he has had (and worn out and flung away) hundreds and hundreds of religions; today he has hundreds and hundreds of religions, and launches not fewer than three new ones every year. I could enlarge on that number and still be within the facts.

I have not professionally dealt in truth. Many when they come to die have spent all the truth that was in them, and enter the next world as paupers. I have saved up enough to make an astonishment there.
