• But look at the men who have those perverted notions about the grace of Jesus Christ which has come down to us, and see how contrary to the mind of God they are. . . . They even abstain from the Eucharist and from the public prayers, because they will not admit that the Eucharist is the self-same body of our Savior Jesus Christ which flesh suffered for our sins, and which the Father of His goodness raised up again.

• I once made the mistake of writing a story with David Corbett. The man smoked me. He can delineate the character and personality of an accordion in three strokes. I didn't even know accordions had character. This act of generosity and wisdom from a very good writer will help anyone who is staring at a blank page, any day, any time. Highly recommended.

• Godlike the man who
  sits at her side, who
  watches and catches
  that laughter
  which (softly) tears me
  to tatters: nothing is left of me, each time
  I see her.

• Greater in battle
  than the man who would conquer
  a thousand-thousand men,
  is he who would conquer
  just one —
  himself.
  Better to conquer yourself
  than others.
  When you've trained yourself,
  living in constant self-control,
  neither a deva nor gandhabba,
  nor a Mara banded with Brahmas,
  could turn that triumph
  back into defeat.

  Gautama Buddha

• A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him. Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!

  Gautama Buddha

• I got a smile that'll make the mirror crack,
  And I seem to stay under clouds that's pitch black.
  So when it rains, it pours, and when it pours, I'm soaked.
  I contracted lung cancer from third hand smoke,
  And I'm like the frog that's dying to be a prince,
  The boy who cried wolf and no one was convinced.
  The man who hit lotto and lost his ticket,
  In a rainstorm...and struck by lightning trying to get it.

  Buck, buck, buck, take that with you on the way down."
  I'm hoping you got springs and wings on your shoes,
  But you lose, because I got the Ill Street Blues.
