Life has its dry places.
Truth is always straightforward.

We look to politicians for reform

At bottom, man is an animal; mid

consciously divine.
Human actions can be modified to
one extent, but human nature can
never be changed.
Impulsiveness 1 not always to be

pulsive man Is the one who acts at
once on his impulses to do the right

The genius of preaching is truth
