The deliberate and deadly attacks which were carried out yesterday against our country were more than acts of terror. They were acts of war.

My heart hath often been deeply afflicted under a feeling that the standard of pure righteousness is not lifted up to the people by us, as a society, in that clearness which it might have been, had we been as faithful as we ought to be to the teachings of Christ.

All the evidence shows that God was actually quite a gambler, and the universe is a great casino, where dice are thrown, and roulette wheels spin on every occasion. Over a large number of bets, the odds even out and we can makepredictions; that's why casino owners are so rich. But over a very small number of rolls of the dice, the uncertainty principle is very important.

Brad Henry

My faith isn't very churchy, it's a pretty personal, intimate thing and has been a huge source of strength in moments of life and death.

Bear Grylls

Seriously, however, I learn a lot about my physical life in the aging and changing of my body.

Malcolm Boyd

We can always redeem the man who aspires and strives.
