George Henry BorrowGrandmother pointed out my brother Perry, my sister Sarah, and my sister Eliza, who stood in the group. I had never seen my brother nor my sisters before; and, though I had sometimes heard of them, and felt a curious interest in them, I really did not understand what they were to me, or I to them. We were brothers and sisters, but what of that? Why should they be attached to me, or I to them? Brothers and sisters were by blood; but slavery had made us strangers. I heard the words brother and sisters, and knew they must mean something; but slavery had robbed these terms of their true meaning.

Francis of AssisiIt does not require great art, or magnificently trained eloquence, to prove that Christians should tolerate each other.

Jill SobuleIt's the same when you listen to any kind of successful athlete. My older brother has a useful name for them - he calls them lottery ticket careers.
