Small Print Quotes

• Here in the UK, we've now got an evangelical television channel - it's the kind of thing that will be very familiar to everyone in the United States, especially if you've ever turned on your TV set on a Sunday morning, and seen one holy man after another, urging you to send money so that Jesus can buy a new cadillac. Apparently, Jesus can't save the world until he's been properly kitted out with a million-dollar mansion, and a private jet - some small print in the Gospels that we must have missed.

The decline in public and private morality can be witnessed in the marketplace as well as the forums of international diplomacy.

Today one might be well advised to check the "bottom line" and read the "small print."
