Break Quote by Paul Goodman

“God works in many ways His wonders to perform. But He's not a skillful mechanic. A man drived over a cliff and "by a miracle" he only breaks his back. It would be more divine if he were a better driver and stayed on the road.” quote by Paul Goodman — Download Open image
