It is against stupidity in every shape and form that we have to wage our eternal battle. But how can we wonder at the want of sense on the part of those who have had no advantages, when we see such plentiful absence of that commodity on the part of those who have had all the advantages?

I must go, not only to those who need me, but to those who need me most.

I am not waiting for a move of God, I am a move of God!

There is a day coming when there will be a religion without repentance, a salvation without the Holy Ghost, a Heaven without Hell.
