Noah Biblical Quotes & Sayings

Noah, who remained innocent and just, God decided to open a path of salvation. In this way he gave humanity the chance of a new beginning. All it takes is one good person to restore hope!

Our continued freedom and success is dependent on our educating the youth of America in the principles of Christianity. — Noah Webster

I'm playing catch with Nisha and Nena. They're standing against the opposite wall shrieking with enjoyment.
