“It is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman. But if the church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. And if I had to choose between a wounded church that goes out on to the streets and a sick, withdrawn church, I would definitely choose the first one.” IfsMenFirstsAgeChurchRiskStreetsHappeningsOrdinarySickAccidentsGoing OutWoundedOrdinary Man Author:Pope Francis
“Small business is the gateway to opportunity for those who want a piece of the American dream... Well, wouldn't it be nice to hear a little more about the forgotten heroes of America - those who create most of our new jobs, like the owners of stores down the street; the faithfuls who support our churches, synagogues, schools, and communities; the brave men and women everywhere who produce our goods, feed a hungry world, and keep our families warm while they invest in the future to build a better America?

“Joy and grief are never far apart. In the same street the shutters of one house are closed, while the curtains of the next are brushed by shadow of the dance. A wedding-party returns from church, and a funeral winds to its door. The smiles and the sadness of life are the tragi-comedy of Shakespeare. Gladness and sighs brighten and dim the mirror he beholds.” JoyNextHouseChurchPartyGriefComedyDoorsSadnessStreetsWindReturnShadowMirrorsFuneralContrastSighCurtainsGladnessShuttersSadness Of LifeJoy And GriefWedding Party Book:Pleasures of Literature Source: Pleasures of Literature

“Even the street, the sunshine, the very air had a special Sunday quality. We walked differently on Sundays, with greater propriety and stateliness. Greetings were more formal, more subdued, voices more meticulously polite. Everything was so smooth, bland, polished. And genuinely so, because this was Sunday. In church the rustling and the stillness were alike pervaded with the knowledge that all was for the best. Propriety ruled the universe. God was in His Heaven, and we were in our Sunday clothes.” ReligionUniverseHeavenVoiceChurchQualityGreaterAirStreetsSpecialClothesSunshineSundayStillnessSmoothFormalPolitePolishedProprietyGreetingsBland Author:Rose Wilder Lane
