As America celebrates Memorial Day we pay tribute to those who have given their lives in our nation's wars.

Continuing a Lenten series on prayer: Prayer is co-operation with God. It is the purest exercise of the faculties God has given us - an exercise that links these faculties with the Maker to work out the intentions He had in mind in their creation.

Women were seldom given quality assignments or adequate air time.

A man is given the choice between loving women and understanding them.

Never was it given to mortal man - To lie so boldly as we women can.

I always say God should have given women one extra decade at least especially if you want a family. You're trying to pack a lot in.

Women have been called queens for a long time but the kingdom given them isn't worth ruling.

Women may not have it easy but we are given a fairer chance to reach for the top.

I continue to believe contrary to the given wisdom that it's more interesting to have an album - or indeed an individual song - which has variety rather than homogeneity.

The Divine wisdom has given us prayer not as a means whereby to obtain the good things of earth but as a means whereby we learn to do without them not as a means whereby we escape evil but as a means whereby we become strong to meet it.
