Bible principles in common literature

"Trouble?" Dai smiled his wide smile. "It's trouble, you say? All my life there's been trouble. Where man is, there will be trouble to the end of time, if not of one kind, then another. But I take my trouble as it comes, boy." (from Showdown on the Hogback, by Louis L'Amour)

Whether he realized it or not, Louis stated fairly eloquently two basic biblical principles in this quote. "Man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble." So said the old prophet Job. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." So said our Lord.
