“Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap. Let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges.

And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation.”
Abraham Lincoln
“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”

“The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not, 'What a lovely sermon!' but 'I will do something.'”
Billy Graham
“Did St. Francis preach to the birds? Whatever for? If he really liked birds he would have done better to preach to the cats.”
Rebecca West
“There should be less talk; a preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.”
Mother Teresa of Calcutta
