Subject: [BP] Quotes?
I'm in need of some pithy quotes, generally related to preservation,
but what ain't? Any suggestions?
Anyone know if it was Clarence Darrow who asked if someone would tear
down the law to get at the devil and when answered in the affirmative
asked what would be used for defense when the Devil turned around and
came after the pursuer? Any idea where I can find that quote?
Thanks.
