Hope is a prodigal young heir, and experience is his banker.
Charles Caleb Colton

If men with fleshly mortals must be fed, and chew with bleeding teeth the breathing bread what else is this but to devour our guests, and barbarously renew Cyclopean feasts? While Earth not only can your needs supply, but, lavish of her store, provides for luxury a guiltless feast administers with ease, and without blood is prodigal to please.
Pythagoras

The parable of the prodigal son, the most beautiful fiction that ever was invented our Saviour's speech to His disciples, with which He closed His earthly ministrations, full of the sublimest dignity and tenderest affection, surpass everything that I ever read and like the spirit by which they were dictated, fly directly to the heart.
William Cowper

Image
We deny that it is fun to be saving. It is fun to be prodigal. Go to the butterfly, thou parsimonious sluggard consider her ways and get wise.
Franklin P. Adams
Image
I am the prodigal son every time I search for unconditional love where it cannot be found.
Henri Nouwen
Image
There is a trend today that would put a new robe on the prodigal son while he is still feeding hogs. Some would put the ring on his finger while he still in the pigsty. Others would paint the pigsty and advocate bigger and better hog pens.
Vance Havner
