Famous quotes containing the words prime ministers, prime, ministers and/or kingdom:

    “Sometimes it takes years to really grasp what has happened to your life. What do you do after you are world-famous and nineteen or twenty and you have sat with prime ministers, kings and queens, the Pope? What do you do after that? Do you go back home and take a job? What do you do to keep your sanity? You come back to the real world.”
    —Wilma Rudolph (1940–1994)

    “The prime purpose of being four is to enjoy being four—of secondary importance is to prepare for being five.”
    —Jim Trelease (20th century)

    “Only men of moral and mental force, of a patriotic regard for the relationship of the two races, can be of real service as ministers in the South. Less theology and more of human brotherhood, less declamation and more common sense and love for truth, must be the qualifications of the new ministry that shall yet save the race from the evils of false teaching.”
    —Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)

    “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places: all this is but the beginning of the birth pangs.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Matthew 24:7,8.
