"I don't deserve any credit for turning the other cheek as my tongue is always in it."

"Total non-retention has kept my education from being a burden to me."

"Children know by instinct that hell is an absence of love, and they can pick out theirs without missing."

"Total non-retention has kept my education from being a burden to me."

"A working knowledge of the devil can be very well had from resisting him."
