Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time, who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done, if we are always doing.

Chuck Norris

If we have no respect for our viewers, then how can we have any respect for ourselves and what we do?

Christiane Amanpour

A faith that hasn't been tested can't be trusted.

Adrian Rogers

There are a lot of people like me, people who need books the way they need air.
