Honest Quotes

Ordinary fools are all right; you can talk to them, and try to help them out.

If only hunters did not wear red coats, things might be different.

Clark, what in your honest opinion is the right standard for determining conduct? Is the only right standard for everyone, the probable action of Jesus Christ?
