"If you find yourself loving any pleasure more than your prayers, any book better than the Bible, any house better than the house of the Lord, any table better than the Lord's table, any persons better than Christ, or any indulgence better than the hope of heaven â€“ be alarmed."

-- Thomas Guthrie

Markets need not be fundamentalist.”
