Howard Dean

There are many people that we meet in our lives. But only a very few will make a lasting impression on our minds and hearts.

Susan Polis Schutz

We humans have lost the wisdom of genuinely resting and relaxing. We worry too much. We don't allow our bodies to heal, and we don't allow our minds and hearts to heal.

Thich Nhat Hanh

It's our Christian duty to offer spiritual worship to God that engages our minds, stirs our hearts & flows from our lips

Alistair Begg
