§7
Does what a person reads show what kind of person they are?

Let me see what you read. Let me go in your office, in your house, and see what you read, I will about tell you what you are. That’s right. See, everything to its nature. And you keep the Bible laying close for your children, read It yourself, be an example. That’s what I didn’t have in my younger life. But by God’s gr...

§42

Look, it’s true. You’ve read my life story out there. My dad did drink, but I don’t care what he done, he’s still my daddy. And let me tell you something, young folks, this afternoon.
