Abundance will make cotton pull a stone.
A traveler to distant places should make no enemies.
Death makes us equal in the grave but not in eternity.
When a mouse makes fun of a cat, there is a hole.
Where the river is deepest it makes the least noise.
Do not make the dress before the child is born.
Fools and obstinate men make lawyers rich.
To a good rider, right or left makes no difference.
You can't make cheesecakes out of snow.
What are you doing, Sophie?” “What do you think I’m doing?” “Do you want to leave? Is that it? You want to run away from everything? You want to hide and pretend like it’s not happening? You never let up in that department, do you?” “...
But you know, a wizard with black hair and a thick mustache put a curse on Moscow, and Petrograd, too, so that no one would be able to tell the truth without lying. If a novelist wrote a true story about how things really happened, no one would belie...

And we neglect the glorious gospel when we fail to recognize his preeminence. How frequently we forget that everything is for him and about him. We forget that he is to be first, in our honor and in our worship. Whenever the gospel slips from our con...
