Quoth the Raven,
A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.=G. K. Chesterton
As you all know, I like the Bible. Written by human authors inspired by the Holy Spirit, this book tells us of the hero...Jesus Christ!

Sir Winston spits game
Here are some more quotations which were attributed to Sir Winston Churchill. I will agree with berberry. The Bulldog sure knew how to spit game!
The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time--a tremendous whack.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
If you're going through hell, keep going.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing has happened.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The water was not fit to drink. To make it palatable, we had to add whiskey. By diligent effort, I learned to like it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
----Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965) British Statesman, Prime Minister, Author
