10 top Robert farrar capon quotes

• Only when you are finally able, with the publican, to admit that you are dead will you be able to stop balking at grace.

10 robert f. kennedy quotes

10 Thought-Provoking Quotes By Robert E. Lee

• Any but the most brutish of men must be touched with a certain awe or wonder at the baring of a woman’s naked soul.
