Alone Quotes
Many a sin has sullied me in body and in soul because I did not restrain my thoughts nor guard my lips: nevertheless it is to Thee, O God of majesty and love, that I turn in my extremity, for Thou art the fount of mercy; to Thee, as quickly as I may, I speed: for Thou alone canst heal me; I take refuge under Thy protection.

Aging Quotes
If anything, Katrina has spotlighted the increasing perils of our heavy dependence on oil. There is no prospect whatsoever that opening the Arctic Refuge and protected offshore areas to drilling would reduce the nation's energy supply and price vulnerabilities. Whether it comes from off America's coasts, from Alaska's Arctic via an aging aboveground pipeline, or from the politically unstable Middle East, oil is an increasingly vulnerable energy source. Heavy oil dependence leaves our economy wide open to price and supply shocks.

Addition Quotes
The successful history of conservation in the Big Woods of Arkansas is a result of great partnerships federal and state agencies working with other organizations, local communities, hunters and landowners.

Benefit Quotes
The Federal Duck Stamp program has made it possible for the Service and its partners to conserve vitally important wetland habitats for the benefit of waterfowl. This acquisition at Cache River National Wildlife Refuge is no different. But one of the reason's this program is so important to the Service's national wildlife refuge system is because the land conservation it makes possible benefits so many other wildlife species, not the least of which is the Ivory-billed Woodpecker.

Agencies Quotes
If the refuge is approved and land is placed in the refuge, then the reservoir cannot be built unless Congress passes a bill removing the land from the refuge system. This is because the state or local agencies involved can't condemn federal land. Once before, a Texas congressman (Ralph Hall) tried to remove a refuge from the refuge system so that a reservoir could be built on the site, and he met with widespread opposition, both in Texas and around the country. But it would be possible.

Alabama Quotes
The devastation caused by this is somewhat unprecedented in American history. The Gladiators organization is particularly moved, not only by the images from photographs and television, but by the fact that we have made many friends along the Gulf Coast through our history in Mobile, Alabama and here in Gwinnett. Through our relationship with the Salvation Army, we have learned of the thousands of evacuees that have found refuge in the state of Georgia. Many have been temporarily displaced, but have lost much. Many may have little to return to when they go home. As always, communities throughout America have responded with help and we simply want to do the same through this donation and by helping to spread the word that assistance is needed here in Georgia to help these survivors.

Cannot Quotes
The last refuge of privacy cannot be placed solely in law or technology. It must repose in both, and a thoughtful combination of the two can help us thread a path between having all our secrets trivially discoverable and preserving nothing for our later selves for fear of that discovery.
