• A civilization is only a way of life. A culture is the way of making that way of life beautiful.

So why not go to work on yourselves, to make yourselves, in quality, what you would have your buildings be?

  Frank Lloyd Wright

  Muhammad Yunus

• There is nothing more negative than the result of the critical study of the life of Jesus. The Jesus of Nazareth who came forward publicly as the Messiah, who preached the Kingdom of God, who founded the Kingdom of Heaven upon earth, and died to give his work its final consecration, never had any existence. He is a figure designed by rationalism, endowed with life by liberalism, and clothed by modern theology in an historical garb.

  Ndabaningi Sithole

  Wisdom, Home, Government
