Everybody funny, now you funny too.
The wisest persons, surprised by some passion, often say things they later regret.
Be acted upon rather than active. In this way, God will do through you alone what all men put together could not do without Him.
Indeed, good is not good if one does not suffer in doing it.
Rarely is any good done without difficulty; the devil is too subtle and the world too corrupt not to attempt to nip such a good work in the bud
God always gives a great blessing to humble beginnings than to those that start with the chiming of bells.
Noise makes no good, good makes no noise.
I'm used to always deciding everything myself. It's a blessing, but also a terrible defect.
When the first record came out, I'd go down to radio stations pretty much every day to get the record played, and I would walk in and they'd tell us how much they loved the record, but they weren't sure how much they could play it because they were already playing a girl.
I can't find the compulsory mutilation of the genitals of children a subject for humor. . . It's designed to repress sexual pleasure. . . The full excision, not just the snip but the full mandatory covenant is fantastically painful, leads to trauma, leads to the dulling of the sexual relationship. And can be, in itself life-threatening at that moment. We have records, I can show them to you, of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds in the United States of boy babies who died or had life-threatening infections as a result of this disgusting practice.
