Mark Twain:
If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed.

gotta love it

If it weren't Twain I would have guessed maybe Will Rogers

No people ever rise higher than their idea of God. Conversely, the loss of the sense of God's high and awesome character always leads to the loss of a people's highest ideals, moral values, and even what we commonly call humanity, not to mention the loss of understanding and appreciation for the most essential Bible doctrines...We deplore the breakdown of moral standards in the church, even among its most visible leaders. But what do we think should happen when we have focused on ourselves and our own, often trivial needs rather than on God, ignoring his holiness and excusing our most blatant sins? To listen to many contemporary sermons one would think man's chief end is to glorify himself and cruise the malls." (pp. 151-152).

“I have read in Plato and Cicero sayings that are very wise and very beautiful; but I have never read in either of them: ‘Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden.”
