Let us remember that the extraordinary circumstances of life are but few; that much of life may slip past without their occurrence; and that if we be not faithful and trusting in that which is little, we are not likely to be so in that which is great..

Philip Bennett Power

For them, prayer isn't just for emergency use, but it guides them through the intricacies of life. Steve Goodier

Sometimes scientists build theories on the premises of faulty assumptions until they discover they were in error and begin again from square one until they discover the true theory.

Bangambiki Habyarimana

It would be evil to deny them such a service in the name of his lack of faith. - Bangambiki Habyarimana. Bangambiki Habyarimana
