Thou art coming to a King, large petitions with thee bring, for His grace and power are such none can ever ask too much. John Newton
No one can hate petitions worse than I, and no one has less faith in them than I. But for my champion I am willing to try any means that invades no other's right, even though I have little hope in it. Voltairine de Cleyre
We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God. God will be constantly crossing our paths and canceling our plans by sending us people with claims and petitions. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If our petitions are sincere, we labor for what we ask; and our Father, who seeth in secret, will reward us openly. Mary Baker Eddy
The proceedings of this House in 1790, in reference to petitions on the matter of the slave trade, and of slavery in the States, have been cited. It has been said that those petitions were not received. Caleb Cushing
And if this House is to be scared, by whatever influences, from its duty, to receive and hear the petitions of the People, then I shall send my voice beyond the walls of this Capitol for redress. Caleb Cushing
