A compilation of some of my favorite quotes...this list is ever-expanding!
"Fear is a sin because it is the forgetfulness of God. If you fear something, you place that above God and forget God's ability to take care of you."
"Politics is a strong and slow boring of hard boards. It takes both passion and perspective. Certainly all historical experience confirms the truth –that man would not have attained the possible unless time and again he had reached out for the impossible. But to do that a man must be a leader, and not only a leader but a hero as well, in a very sober sense of the word. And even those who are neither leaders nor heroes must arm themselves with that steadfastness of heart which can brave even the crumbling of all hopes. This is necessary right now, or else men will not be able to attain even that which is possible today. Only he has the calling for politics who is sure that he shall not crumble when the world from his point of view is too stupid or too base for what he wants to offer. Only he who in the face of all this can say ‘In spite of all!’ has the calling for politics." -Max Weber, German sociologist
"I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty. I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law; that government is the servant of the people and not their master. I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living. I believe that thrift is essential to well ordered living and that economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government, business or personal affairs. I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order. I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man's word should be as good as his bond; that character — not wealth or power or position — is of supreme worth."--J.D. Rockefeller
"Fear of failure is an accusation against God." -Mark Dever
"It is a poverty that a child must die so that you may live as you wish." -Mother Theresa
"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent."
Non Sibi Sed Patriae... Not for self, but for Country.
"If God be for us, who can be against us?" -Romans 8:21
“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you." -John 15:18-20
“No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money." -Luke 16:13
"For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. Then you will understand what is right and just and fair..." Proverbs 2:6-9
"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails." Proverbs 19:21
"Laus deo"...GLORY TO GOD.
*Never give up, never give in.*
"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”-Abraham Lincoln
“The truth is incontrovertible; malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.” -Winston Churchill
"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."
"The truth will set you free...but first it will make you miserable."
FOR NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD." Luke 1:37
"You will think me transported with enthusiasm but I am not. I am well aware of the toil, and blood, and treasure, that it will cost to maintain this declaration, and support and defend these states. Yet, through all the gloom, I can see the rays of ravishing light and glory. I can see that the end is more than worth all the means, that posterity will tripumph in that day's transaction, even though we should rue it, which I trust in God we shall not.” -John Adams to Abigail Adams; July 3, 1776
"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." -Thomas Jefferson
