To what greater inspiration and counsel can we turn than to the imperishable truth to be found in this treasure house, the Bible? (ABBA )
When the white man came, we had the land and they had the bibles. Now they have the land and we have the bibles. (ABBA )
For this reason the Bible is a book of eternal and effective power; because, as long as the world lasts, no one will say: I comprehend it in the whole and understand it in the particular. Rather we must modestly say it on the whole it is venerable, and in the particular practical. (ABBA )

Well, Fitz, I looked all through that bible, it was in very fine print and stumbling on that great book Ecclesiastics, read it aloud to all who would listen. Soon I was alone and began cursing the bloody bible because there were no titles in it -- although I found the source of practically every good title you ever heard of. But the boys, principally Kipling, had been there before me and swiped all the good ones so I called the book Men Without Women hoping it would have a large sale among the fairies and old Vassar Girls. (ABBA )

There is much in the Bible against which every instinct of my being rebels, so much that I regret the necessity which has compelled me to read it through from beginning to end. I do not think that the knowledge which I have gained of its history and sources compensates me for the unpleasant details it has forced upon my attention. (ABBA )
In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible has never failed to give me light and strength. (ABBA )
Either this is not the Gospel, or we are not Christians. (ABBA )
Bible study is like eating peanuts. The more you eat, the more you want to eat. (ABBA )
The one book necessary to be understood by a divine, is the Bible; any others are to be read, chiefly, in order to understand that. (ABBA )
First I shake the whole [Apple] tree, that the ripest might fall. Then I climb the tree and shake each limb, and then each branch and then each twig, and then I look under each leaf. (ABBA )
The English Bible -- a book which, if everything else in our language should perish, would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power. (ABBA )
The Good Book -- one of the most remarkable euphemisms ever copied. (ABBA )
I know the Bible is inspired because it inspires me. (ABBA )
The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible. (ABBA )
A readiness to believe every promise implicitly, to obey every command unhesitatingly, to stand perfect and complete in all the will of God, is the only true spirit of Bible study. (ABBA )
