“Always the seer is a sayer.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I hear as good exclamation on your worship as of any man in the city.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“In the Lord’s Prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
