Quotes
I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.
God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.
Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.
