Ii a man behaves tolerably

fellow say the other day that

hay and less hell.
Tell me what you love and
hate, and | will tell you what
your character is.
A fellow who wants to go
to heaven because he's afraid
OF hell, is like a rabbit with
the dogs afterhim. He wants
to get out Of danger; he don't
care particular W h ere he
goes; he just wants to go
somewhere.
