Someone Has
“If ever you are tempted to say, ‘I wish someone were to die and leave me something in his will,’ allow me to tell you, ‘Someone has!’”

“Christianity proposes not to extinguish our natural desires. It promises to bring the desires under just control and direct them to their true object.”
