    ... exchanging platitudes, as Frenchmen do, for the pleasure of feeling their mouths full of the good meat of common sense.

    We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is justified not by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by doing the works of the law, because no one will be justified by the works of the law.
    Bible: New Testament, Galatians 2:15-16.

    Heaven absolves all crimes committed to gain a throne once Heaven gives it to us.
    Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
