King James IWe plough the fields and scatter
The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered

The breezes and the sunshine
And soft refreshing rain. [Hymn]

We will never be recognized as citizens there until we are first recognized as humans.
Malcom XAnother thing that worried me... was the array of devout exercises that was seen by each group as having a unique and a divine validity.
