“The expenses of the paperwork and court fees involved in pursuing the appeal through the courts were not too high. In fact, as I recall, removing prayer from U.S. public schools cost less than $20,000... no Christian organization filed a brief in support of our opponents.” FactsSchoolChristianReligiousPrayerSupportInvolvedCostOrganizationCourtAppealsOpponentsExpensesRecallsPublic SchoolFeesPaperwork Author:William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield

“My life and the life of my family has been completely disrupted in absolutely every way by starting the school-prayer case. But it's been worth it. It's uncovered a vast cesspool of illegitimate economic and political power in which the Church is immersed right up to its ears, and I intend to dive in headfirst and pull it out of there dripping wet for all the world to see -no matter how long it takes, no matter whose feet get stepped on in the process, no matter how much it costs, no matter how great the personal sacrifice.” WorldWayLongHas BeensMatterSchoolPoliticalProcessChurchPrayerCasesSacrificeFeetEconomicCostMy FamilyEarsStartingWetWorth ItPolitical PowerDrippingPersonal Sacrifice Author:Madalyn Murray O'Hair
“All good things require effort. That which is worth having will cost part of your physical being, your intellectual power, and your soul power—‘Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.’ (Matt. 7:7.) But you have to seek, you have to knock. On the other hand, sin thrusts itself upon you. It walks beside you, it tempts you, it entices, it allures. You do not have to put forth effort. … Evil seeks you, and it requires effort and fortitude to combat it. But truth and wisdom are gained only by seeking, by prayer, and by effort.” SoulHandsEvilAsksGivenPrayerSinWalksEffortCostIntellectualGood ThingsSeekingYour SoulCombatFortitudeThrustAllureBeside YouSoul Power Author:David O.
