"Crankisms"



85
A man considers his little weaknesses amiable traits;
a woman--a woman will not admit that she has a weakness.

86
God's call, through the still small voice, to preach, is
much more irresistible when megaphoned by a wealthy church.

87
Many who sing loud praises to God, pay heavy tribute to the
devil.

88
If the world is, as is so often whined, growing worse, it is
partly because of our presence in it.

89
The counsel of a good book is far superior to that of a man
who says one thing and does another.

90
If other people would only be as reasonable as we are, what
a heaven this earth would be.

91
The world has no sympathy for the gambler who loses.

92
Trust in God, but keep a sharp lookout on your friends.

93
Tell the truth and you will shame the devil; you will also
surprise him very often.

94
The knowledge that virtue is its own reward is what deters
many from well doing.

95
It requires no particular skill to win the game when Fortune
has dealt you all the trumps.

96
We give much more thought to what is due to us than to what
is due from us.

97
A camel may not be able to pass through the eye of a needle,
but that does not deter many a lobster from trying to do so.
