T. S. Eliot Quotes, Children Quotes, Sea Quotes

We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.

I would never use God to promote foreign policy decisions. I recognize that in the eyes of an almighty, I am a lowly sinner, and I ask for strength and wisdom and I pray for calmness when the seas are storming, and I pray for others.
