Brooke Burns[P]eople need to use their intelligence to evaluate what they find to be true and untrue in the Bible. This is how we need to live life generally.

Bart D. EhrmanIt is so inspiring to see a new group coming together not to focus on a particular war or weapons system, but on all war-everywhere.

Erin WillettEven if the hermits do not appear to benefit other beings with their presence or teachings, still they are enormously inspiring to many.

It dissolves mental tensions and heals negative emotions.

John Ralston SaulAnd in some ways, to me, that's one of the inspiring and powerful things about the Great Migration itself. There was no leader, there was no one person who set the date who said, 'On this date, people will leave the South.' They left on their own accord for as many reasons as there are people who left. They made a choice that they were not going to live under the system into which they were born anymore and in some ways, it was the first step that the nation's servant class ever took without asking.
