"[...] I will walk boldly and have a consolation and an anchor of the soul, that while I'm in this veil there's some unseen something got me anchored against the Rock of ages yonder. And the waters jump and blast, it doesn't make any difference, if death, perils, or anything separates us, not from the love of God. My anchor holds within the veil! Let the floods rise, let her dash, let infidels come, the born-again believer has an anchor. You can't see through this veil yet. But I know my anchor holds yonder against the Rock of the ages, who is a sworn promise that He will raise me up at the last day."
57-0915M Hebrews, Chapter Six and Seven. Rev. William Marrion Branham

"[...] I know better than anyone that by all this I am only injuring myself and no one else. But still, if I don't consult a doctor it is from spite. My liver is bad, well--let it get worse!"
