As ships meet at sea a moment together, when words of greeting must be spoken, and then away upon the deep, so men meet in this world and I think we should cross no man's path without hailing him, and if he needs giving him supplies.
Henry Ward Beecher
The Bible is God's chart for you to steer by, to keep you from the bottom of the sea, and to show you where the harbor is, and how to reach it without running on rocks or bars.
Henry Ward Beecher
