No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.

Too many of them paid a terrible, unimaginable price for their heroism. And like so many women in wartime, they were largely forgotten after the war's end.There were no parades for them, very few medals, and almost no mention in the history books.

Many speak the truth when they say that they despise riches, but they mean the riches possessed by others.

Charles Caleb Colton

President Obama said he is going to use the Gulf disaster to push a new energy bill through Congress. How about using the Gulf disaster to fix the Gulf disaster?

Jay Leno

The acquisition of riches has been to many not an end to their miseries, but a change in them: The fault is not in the riches, but the disposition.

Seneca the Younger

The shock of the new after the biggest upset in American political history, this unforgettable, once unimaginable image Donald Trump side by side with President Obama in the Oval Office.

George Stephanopoulos

Madam Walker was a woman who transformed herself in a very American, rags-to-riches way.

A'Lelia Bundles
