When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God. (Isaiah 43:2-3)

"An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy."
