“And no government program can replace the actions of caring Americans freely choosing to help one another. The Scriptures say "To whom much is given, much will be required." As the most generous and prosperous nation on Earth, it is heartwarming to see Americans giving much time and money to the people of Haiti. Thank you for your ongoing compassion.”
Click for Simpson's quotes
The late James B. Simpson’s passion was collecting the words of others. He left his career as a journalist to become an Episcopal priest, but he retained a strong appreciation for journalism.
The Rev. Simpson published several volumes of quotation books under the name of Simpson’s Contemporary Quotations. His work continues to be a trusted and recognized favorite among journalists, scholars, academics and quote enthusiasts.
This site, sponsored by the School of Communication at American University, is designed to carry on Simpson's mission of making accessible the current quotes of our time. AU is the home of the James B. Simpson Research Room and James B. Simpson Fellowship, now held by Dr. Danna Walker.
