“Battles, revolutions, pestilence, famine, and death, are never the effect of those natural causes, which we experience. Prodigies,omens, oracles, judgments, quite obscure the few natural events, that are intermingled with them. But as the former grow thinner every pagewe soon learn, that there is nothing mysterious or supernatural in the case, but that all proceeds from the usual propensity of mankind towards the marvellous, and that, though this inclination may at intervals receive a check from sense and learning, it can never be thoroughly extirpated.” MayGrowsCausesNaturalCasesMankindEffectsEventsRevolutionBattleJudgmentChecksMysteriousFormerUsualObscureInclinationFamineIntervalsPropensityMarvellousOraclesOmenProdigiesPestilence Author:David Hume
“It is my judgment that any man or woman can do more to conform to the laws of God in one year in this life than they could do in ten years when they are dead. The spirit can only repent and change, and then the battle has to go forward with the flesh afterwards. It is much easier to overcome and serve the Lord when both flesh and spirit are combined as one. This is the time when men are more pliable and susceptible. We will find when we are dead every desire, every feeling will be greatly intensified. When clay is pliable it is much easier to change than when it gets hard and sets.” MenYearsHardFeelingsLawSpiritDesireCan DoLordEasierBattleTenJudgmentOvercomingFleshThis LifeConformRepentClaySusceptible Author:Melvin J.

“No U.S. soldier ever dies in vain because they're carrying out the missions of their commander in chief. And we honor all the service that they've provided. Our troops have performed brilliantly. The question is for the next president, are we making good judgments about how to keep America safe precisely because sending our military into battle is such an enormous step.” PresidentMilitaryHonorBattleJudgmentSoldierVainOur TroopsGood Judgment Author:Barack Obama
