“If a man begins to walk with a stick merely for a whim, he will soon come to require a stick; if you indulge your eyes with spectacles, they will speedily demand them as a permanent appendage; and if you were to walk with crutches for a month, at the end of the time they would be almost necessary to your movements, although naturally your limbs might be a sound and healthy as any man’s.”
“I have won somebody to Christ every way Jesus did except up a tree and on a cross. And the first chance I get I’m going after them.”
- L. R. Scarborough
