Nothing justifies evil more successfully than the popular will.

At one time, it was a mental illness for a slave to spend all his energy on escape. Today, such behavior would be admirable.

There are nearly no atheists in existence. There are many Protestant atheists, Catholic atheists, Jewish atheists, and all other flavors of the sect that do not so much not believe in God but actively reject a specific interpretation of Him.

I have met one atheist in my entire life. He was the only person I have ever met for whom God was so unreal that it wasn't worth that man's time to deny Him. The other "atheists" still believe in God--otherwise they wouldn't spend so much time going out of their way to deny His existence.

I don't spend my time writing multi-page essays about how the Care Bears don't exist outside our imaginations. That's because I actually believe they aren't real.

Sex at age 90 is like trying to shoot pool with a rope.

America is a country which produces citizens who will cross the ocean to fight for democracy but won’t cross the street to vote.

What’s the difference between a northern fairytale and a southern fairytale? A northern fairytale begins “Once upon a time…” A southern fairytale begins “Y’all ain’t gonna believe this shit…”
