Church ain't what it used to be.

Nothin's what it used to be--everything's turned up from the bottom, and the growth is so big the roots stick out in the air.

There's an awful ruction goin' on, and you got to keep hoppin' if you're goin' to keep your balance on the top of it.

And the schemers! They run like bugs on the bottom of a board--after any piece o' money they hear is loose.

Fool schemes and crooked schemes; the fool ones are the most and the worst! You got to FIGHT to keep your money after you've made it.
