Quote by Jim Trelease

“A nation that does not read much does not know much. And a nation that does not know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box, and the voting booth. And those decisions ultimately affect the entire nation...the literate and illiterate.”

The priest saw that there is no man who is elect because there is no man who is not. To God every man is a heretic.”
