“The reality is that we all need to cultivate a habit of saying “please” and “thank you,” not just because it is a sign of civil society, but because it enables us to recognize that each person has human dignity and deserves our respect, even if they are being paid to do their job. It helps create a world in which people are never mistaken for commodities.”
― Richard Leonard, Why Bother Praying?

“Why bother praying? Because we have been given both a vivid imagination and a vast array of biblical images to get us started. For whatever image or word we use, God is always more than we can ever say; but that does not mean our names are unimportant, for our image of God reveals our personal theology as well.”
