When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail.
“We shall trust everything in those dear hands that were nailed to the cross for us.”
Ha! to forget. How childish! I feel you in my bones. Your silence screams in my ears. You may nail your mouth shut, you may cut out your tongue, can you keep yourself from existing? Will you stop your thoughts.
—Jean-Paul Sartre
An argument never persuades anyone; it divides and embitters people. An argument influences a person’s opinion like a hammer influences a nail.
—Leo Tolstoy
Do you say, “Have you never sinned?” Alas, I have. Sinned so deeply that none of you will ever know, thank God. But thank God still more, when Jesus Christ was nailed to yonder Cross of Calvary, all my sins were settled.
—R. A. Torrey
