A woman went to the doctor's office, where she was seen by one of the
older doctors. After about four minutes in the examination room,
she burst out of the office, screaming as she ran down the hall.
A new doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was. She told him
her story. After listening, he had her sit down and relax in another room,
then marched down a back hallway to where the older doctor was and demanded,
"What's the matter with you? Mrs. Terry is 63 years old, has four grown
children and seven grandchildren, and you just told her she was pregnant?
The older doctor continued to write on his clipboard as he responded
without looking up, "Does she still have the hiccups?"
To write simply is as difficult as to be good.
Julia Ward Howe, the social reformer, once asked Senator Charles Sumner to interest himself in the case of a person who needed some help. The Senator answered, Julia, I’ve become so busy I can no longer concern myself with individuals.’ Julia replied, Charles, that is quite remarkable. Even God hasn’t reached that stage yet!’

The sermon is a truck, not a bus. Carry one heavy load.
[When asked how to distinguish a genius from a really smart person]: A really smart person will come up with what you would come up with, only faster. A genius will come up with something that you would never come up with, no matter how long you worked on it.
