Quotes About Boat

If a man is crossing the river and an empty boat collides with his skiff, even though he is a bad tempered man he will not become very angry.

That the boat did not upset I simply state as a fact. Why it did not upset I am unable to offer any reason.

Learn to love humility, for it will cover all your sins. All sins are repulsive before God, but the most repulsive of all is pride of the heart.
