I never hear the call of prayer without remembering the trumpet blare on the Day of Resurrection. I never see the snow without remembering the fluttering scrolls of deeds being handed out. I never see a swarm of locusts without remembering the assembly on the Day of Judgment.

Thursday 07 May 2009 Steve Weissman | Betting on a Global Crapshoot http://www.truthout Steve Weissman, Truthout: "You have to hand it to Wall Street.
