Voices Quotes

The world expects of Christians that they will raise their voices so loudly and clearly and so formulate their protest that not even the simplest man can have the slightest doubt about what they are saying.

We stand in need of folk who have determined to speak directly and unmistakably and come what may, to stand by what they have said.

Language is worth a thousand pounds a word!
Lewis Carroll
