"Yet we in our day, much as we love to sing Amazing Grace (I suppose because we like the tune), are not inwardly amazed by grace as the Puritans were; it does not startle us that the holy Creator should receive sinners into his company; rather, we take it for granted! 'God will forgive. That's his job!' was the final scoff with witch the French cynic went to meet his Maker." - - Dr. J. I. Packer - A Quest For Godliness - The Puritan Vision of the Christian Life

"Even the best case can be lost. Every lawyer knows that. And if the widow wins big, the insurance company will only appeal it, and starve her out, while a bunch of judges who don't know her and don't give a damn for her kids take a couple of years to deliver their opinion. And if the jury gave her a big enough award, you can bet the appellate judges will decide against her for one reason or another." Gerry Spence - With Justice For None - Destroying the American Myth
