I don't like to hear cut and dried sermons. No–when I hear a man preach, I like to see him act as if he were fighting bees.

About This Quote

I don't like to hear cut and dried sermons. No—when I hear a man preach, I like to see him act as if he were fighting bees. If you want people to listen to you, they need to see how you really feel about them. They can't just hear your words—they have to see how you say them. If you want them to see that you're really committed to your beliefs, then you'll need to somehow show that commitment in everything that you say and do
