“I really see myself as a homegirl. Wales is my first home. London is my second home - I've been there 14 years now.”
“Braininess is not attractive unless combined with some signs of elegance; class.”
“Much is now being said about evangelism; but before we get effective evangelism, we have to get effective evangelists. Evangelism is useless unless it is the work of one devoted to God, willing and glad to suffer all things for God, penetrated by the attractiveness of God.

“Ah, what happiness it is to be with people who are all happy, to press hands, press cheeks, smile into eyes.”

“I speak because I can to anyone I trust enough to listen.”
