“Sin and the effects of sin are similar to the laws of inertia: a person (or object) in motion will continue on that trajectory until acted upon by an outside force.”

“We are all powerless to heal ourselves. Research shows that self-help statements have been found to be ineffective and even harmful by making some people with low self-esteem feel even worse about themselves in the long term.39 As a matter of fact, positive self-statements frequently end up reinforcing and strengthening one’s original negative self-perception they were trying to change.40”

“Life doesn’t just happen to you. You react to it, and you are not forced to react the way you do. Your heart determines your reactions.”

“Inertia. Guy’s law of enchantment: “People at rest will remain at rest, and people in motion will keep moving in the same direction unless an outside enchanter acts upon them.”

“When describing me, Tracy often refers to a well-known concept of physics: 'inertia.' As Newton avers in his first law: 'An object that is not moving will not move until a force acts upon it. An object that is moving will not change its velocity until a net force acts upon it.' In other words, depending on what's happening in my life at any given moment, I can either be the laziest human being on the planet, or the busiest. I'm perfectly content to do absolutely nothing until I'm catalyzed by some person or project, and then I go nonstop until some countervailing force acts upon me, and I revert back to static mode.”

“Surely Tillie knew glitter on wrinkled cleavage was a sin.”

“We were invaded today, Lord Malory.""By a bunch of ungodly thieves and sellers of sin," Reverend Biggs said most indignantly.Walter latched on to the word "ungodly," asking, "These are different from Godly thieves, I take it?"He was being sarcastic,but the good reverend took him seriously instead, answering stiffly, "Heathens usually are, m'lord.”
