Good deeds from good intentions flow; but good intentions only; build for us a place below.

O Lord, how many read the Word, and yet from vice are not deterred.

The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention

Lay up your treasures in heaven where there is no depreciation.

A recent survey was said to prove that the people we Americans most admire are our politicians and doctors. I don't believe it. They are simply the people we are most afraid of. And with the most reason.

Any man with a fine shock of hair, a good set of teeth, and a bewitching smile can park his brains, if he has any, and run for public office.

Politicians should never put themselves first: governments should put people first and all of us should put our country first.

Whatever your past has been your future is spotless.
