Notable Quotes

Pride calls me to the window, gluttony to the table, wantonness to the bed, laziness to the chimney-corner; ambition commands me to go upstairs, and covetousness to come down. Vices, I see, are as well contrary to themselves as to virtue. Free me, Lord, from this distracted case; fetch me from being sin’s servant to be Thine, whose “service is perfect freedom,” for Thou art but one, and ever the same.... Thomas Fuller (1608-1661)



Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian, any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile.... Billy Sunday (1862-1935)




"A leader, once convinced a particular course of action is the right one, must have the determination to stick with it and be undaunted when the going gets rough" -Ronald Reagan



Do not pray for easy lives; pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you yourself shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God.... Phillips Brooks (1835-1893)
