• God will not accept a divided heart. He must be absolute monarch. There is not room in your heart for two thrones. You cannot mix the worship of the true God with the worship of any other god more than you can mix oil and water. It cannot be done. There is not room for any other throne in the heart if Christ is there. If worldliness should come in, godliness would go out.

  Dwight L. Moody

  Heart, Two, Thrones

• Such is the nature of the marriage relation that a breach once made cannot be healed, and it is the height of folly to waste one's life in vain efforts to make a binary compound of two diverse elements.

  Elizabeth Cady Stanton

  Marriage, Thinking, Years

  Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Harriot (Stanton). Blatch (Sra.) (1922). "Elizabeth Cady Stanton según se desprende de sus cartas, diario y reminiscencias".

• Remember always that there are two things which are more utterly incompatible even than oil and water, and these two are trust and worry. Can you call it trust, when you have given the saving and keeping of your soul into the hands of God, if day after day you are spending hours of anxious thought and questionings about the matter? When believers really trust anything, they cease to worry about the thing they have trusted.

  Hannah Whitall Smith

  Trust, Anxious Thoughts, Two

• Estabas muerto, dormías el gran sueño, no te molestaban esas cosas, el aceite y el agua eran lo mismo que el viento y el aire para ti. Simplemente dormías el gran sueño, sin preocuparte por lo desagradable de cómo morías o dónde caías. Yo, yo era parte de la suciedad ahora. Mucho más que Rusty Regan.

  Raymond Chandler

• I'm a 48-year-old writer who can remember being a 10-year-old writer and who expects someday to be an 80-year-old writer. I'm also comfortably asocial -- a hermit in the middle of Los Angeles -- a pessimist if I'm not careful, a feminist, a Black, a former Baptist, an oil-and-water combination of ambition, laziness, insecurity, certainty, and drive.

  Octavia Butler

  Ambition, Years, Feminist

• Whenever poetry and politics are mentioned in the same breath, we tend to miss the point entirely - as I often have - and we ask ourselves whether poetry and politics even belong together, because they're often so poorly married that we think of them as oil and water.

• Because of the oil-and-water relationship governments have cultivated between ethics and political economy, speaking in plain terms - spelling it out as it is - as become foreign to the public. So here goes: When government sports a surplus, this implies that the political pickpockets have stolen more funds than they can possibly dream of spending. The property is not theirs to keep! Conversely, when deficits are reported, this means that the kleptomaniacs have not been able to steal sufficient funds to cover their profligacy.
