Man vs. Woman

"Man, he lives in jerks-baby born an' a man dies, an' that's a jerk - gets a farm an' loses his farm, and' that's a jerk. Woman, it's all one flow, like a stream, little eddies, little waterfalls, but the river, it goes right on. Woman looks at it like that."

"You think it was a sin to let my wife die like that?"

"well," said Casy, "for anybody else it was a mistake, but if you think it was a sin-then it's a sin. A fella build his own sins right up from the groun'."

Odd People

It is not such a very dreadful circumstances that we are odd people, is it? For we really are odd, you know-careless, reckless, easily wearied of anything. We don't look throughly into matters-don't care to understand things. We are all like this-you and I, and all of them!

God's ways

We degrade God when we attribute our own ideas to Him, out of annoyance that we cannot fathom His ways.

wart on the nose!

... if you have a wart on your forehead or nose, you imagine that all the world is looking at it, and that people would make fun of you because of it, even if you had discovered America!
