Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Image
A certain joyful, though humble, confidence becomes us when we pray in the Mediator's name. It is due to Him when we pray in His name it should be without wavering. Remember His merits, and how prevalent they must be. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace.
Nehemiah Adams

Rumour is a pipe Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures And of so easy and so plain a stop That the blunt monster with uncounted heads, The still-discordant wavering multitude, Can play upon it.
William Shakespeare
Image
