Famous quotes containing the word pratt:

    When the Church of Jesus
    Shuts its outer door,
    Lest the roar of traffic
    Drown the voice of prayer:
    May our prayers, Lord, make us
    Ten times more aware
    That the world we banish
    Is our Christian care.
    —Frederick Pratt Green (b. 1903)
