George Washington

How wondrously supernatural, And how miraculous this! I draw water, and I carry fuel.
Layman Pang
Image
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear, I rise. Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear, I rise.
Maya Angelou
Image
Ideally, I would create a book so interdependent and self-sustaining in its parts, so wondrously connected word by word and paragraph by paragraph, so charged with the joy of language, that it would actually float three or four inches above any table where you try to set it down.
Peter Straub

The life of a Christian is wondrously ruled in this world, by the consideration and meditation of the life of another world.
