I am a soul. I know well that what I shall render up to the grave is not myself. That which is myself will go elsewhere. Earth, thou art not my abyss!
Victor Hugo

I am and always will be a sinner. But that's the beautiful thing about Jesus. I'll always try to be a better person in the eyes of God. But I'm not all of a sudden stepping up on a pedestal and saying I'm holier than thou, 'cause I'm not!
Billy Ray Cyrus

I have ten commandments. The first nine are, thou shalt not bore. The tenth is, thou shalt have right of final cut.

If thou must love me, let it be for naught except for love's sake only.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
