OK, paraphrases of great Bible verses oughtta do it. If not I can always go on to discuss various creedal statements throughout English history.

"Wring not the nose lest one wringeth forth blood." (I think it's in Proverbs)

If you are swimming in the dungpile or cesspool, the work of your hands, no matter how skillful, will avail little. (Isaiah, definitely.)

It's all true. I read it in my Bible. I just don't memorize well.
