Everything bad that they (the ungodly) can seize hold of in our life is twisted maliciously against Christ and His teaching. The result is that by our fault God's sacred name is exposed to insult. The more closely we see ourselves being watched by our enemies, the more intent we should be to avoid their slanders, so that their ill-will strengthens us in the desire to do well.
John Calvin
On the Ning Nang Nong. Where the Cows go Bong! And the Monkeys all say Boo! Theres a Nang Nong Ning. Where the trees go Ping! And the tea pots Jibber Jabber Joo. On the Nong Ning Nang. All the Mice go Clang! And you just cant catch em when they do! So its Ning Nang Nong! Cows go Bong! Nong Nang Ning! Trees go Ping! Nong Ning Nang! The mice go Clang! What a noisy place to belong, Is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!

Willa Cather
