Being a king, emperor, or president is mighty small potatoes compared to being a mother.

The trouble with many men is that they have got just enough religion to make them miserable. If there is not joy in religion, you have got a leak in your religion.
Billy Sunday

Religion needs a baptism of horse sense.

There is nothing in the world of art like the songs mother used to sing.
