As a result, we become increasingly more sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and thus able to comprehend spiritual things more clearly.

Kennedy's going down and he's taking the party with him! (Recognize the pattern?)

We conceive, I think, more nobly of the weak presence of Paul than of, the fair and ruddy countenance of David.
