Billy Sunday
Image
Hypocrites in the Church? Yes, and in the lodge and at the home. Don't hunt through the Church for a hypocrite. Go home and look in the mirror. Hypocrites? Yes. See that you make the number one less.
Billy Sunday
Image
I am the sworn, eternal and uncompromising enemy of the liquor traffic.
Billy Sunday
Image
Some homes need a hickory switch a good deal more than they do a piano.
Billy Sunday

Try praising your wife, even if it does frighten her at first.
Billy Sunday

The church is not a dormitory for sleepers, it is an institution for workers it is not a rest camp, it is a front line trench.
Billy Sunday

Home is the place we love best and grumble the most.
