It is simply a fact that the birth rate of our illegal immigrants exceeds that of our legal residents.

The emphasis on the birth of Christ tends to polarize our pluralistic society and create legal and ethnic belligerence.

These past years as we have been recovering and given our city a rebirth we have been encouraged by our faith knowledge and steadfast belief that we will pull through. There will be challenges and setbacks as there have already been but we will continue and we the citizens of New Orleans will prevail in bringing our city back.

The foundation of our religion is a basis of fact - the fact of the birth ministry miracles death resurrection by the Evangelists as having actually occurred within their own personal knowledge.

My birth neither shook the German Empire nor caused much of an upheaval in the home. It pleased mother caused father a certain amount of pride and my elder brother the usual fraternal jealousy of a hitherto only son.

If my accent betrayed my foreign birth it also stamped me as an enemy in the imagination of the producers.

A certificate of live birth is not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination as a birth certificate.

Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.

Nothing is so galling to a people not broken in from the birth as a paternal or in other words a meddling government a government which tells them what to read and say and eat and drink and wear.

We all hope for breakthrough rebirth moments.
