IT’S BEEN SAID:
All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking
excellence. – Martin Luther King Jr.
A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world - Agatha Christie
Pentecost is the birthday of the Christian faith.
She is now no more? Nay, I boldly say she lives — lives in the hearts of her subjects; lives in the pages of
history. And as the ages revolve, as her pure profile stands more marked against the horizon of time, the
verdict of posterity will ratify the judgment of those who were her subjects. She ennobled mankind; she
exalted royalty; the world is better for her life. Sir, the Queen is no more; let us with one heart say, Long
live the King! - Sir Wilfred Laurier, Former Prime Minister of Canada
