Many people are in a rut and a rut is nothing but a grave-with both ends kicked out.

We are suffering today from a species of Christianity as dry as dust, as cold as ice, as pale as a corpse, and as dead as King Tut. We are suffering not from a lack of correct heads but of consumed hearts.

If you lack knowledge, go to school. If you lack wisdom, get on your knees.

Progress is a farce because man's head and hand have created wonders that stun the imagination, but his heart does not keep step and his morals undo all that his mind has wrought.

We need to take down our Do not disturb signs... snap out of our stupor and come out of our coma and awake from our apathy.
