“Anybody who predicts the death of cities has already met his spouse.”

“The Lord doesn't want anybody in His house who has to be dragged there.”

“Anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days.”

“What mancan you show me who places any value on his time, who reckons the worth of each day, who understands that he isdying daily? For we are mistaken when we look forward to death; the major portion of death has already passed,Whatever years be behind us are in death's hands.”

“I never met anybody who said when they were a kid, "I wanna grow up and be a critic.”

“I met this kid from Miles City, Montana, who read the Stars and Stripes every day, checking the casualty lists to see if by some chance anybody form his home town had been killed. He didn’t even know if there was anyone else from Miles City in Vietnam, but he checked anyway because he knew for sure that if there was someone else and they got killed, he would be all right. “I mean, can you just see *two* guys from a raggedy-ass town like Miles City getting killed in Vietnam?”
