Additional quotes by Josh Billings

If we would all ov us take kare ov our own souls, and let our nabors alone, thare would be less time lost, and more souls saved.

Thare iz a grate deal ov charity in this world so koldly rendered that it fairly hurts, it iz like lifting a drowning man out ov the water bi the hair ov the hed, and then letting him drop on the ground.

7 per cent haz no rest, nor no religion, it works nights, and Sundays, and even wet days.

I kno plenty ov folks who are so kondem kontrary, that if they should fall into the river, they would insist uopon floating up stream. - Josh Billings
