“HONOR. This means that a girl is not satisfied with keeping the letter of the law when she really breaks it in spirit. LOYAL. This means that she is true to her country, to the city or village where she is a citizen, to her family, her church, her school, and those for whom she may work or who may work for her. HELPFUL. The simplest way of saying this for the very young Scout is to do a good turn to someone every day: that is, to be a giver and not a taker. This is the spirit that makes the older Scout into a fine, useful, dependable woman.” WayMayMeanCountrySchoolLawYoungSpiritTurnsGirlChurchCitiesBreakFineCitizensHonorLettersSatisfiedHelpfulVillageLoyalSimplestGiverDependable Author:Juliette Gordon Low
“Culture is already there and the church will continue to be even more irrelevant when it quotes letters from two thousand years ago as their best defense. When you have in front of you flesh and blood people who are your brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, co-workers and neighbors and they love each other and they just want to go through life with someone.” PeopleWantYearsTwoCultureChurchBloodFrontsBrotherThousandYears AgoLettersWorkersDefenseNeighborFleshThousand YearsUnclesIrrelevantBrothers And SistersAuntLove Each OtherYour BrotherFlesh And BloodCo WorkerAunts And UnclesChurch Bells Author:Rob Bell
“Those who marry God can become domesticated too - it's just as hum-drum a marriage as all the others. The word Love means a formal touch of the lips as in the ceremony of the Mass, and Ave Maria like dearest is a phrase to open a letter. This marriage like the world's marriages was held together by habits and tastes shared in common between God and themselves - it was God's taste to be worshipped and their taste to worship, but only at stated hours like a suburban embrace on a Saturday night.” WorldLoveMeanTogetherNightHoursChurchCommonHabitTasteWorshipMassLettersEmbraceLipsPhrasesFormalSaturdayCeremonySaturday NightLove MeansWords Love Book:A Burnt Out Case Source: A Burnt Out Case
“I don't belong to a church or political party or a group of any kind. I feel that Amnesty International is the most civilized organization in history. Its currency is the written word. Its weapon is the letter; that's why I am a member. I believe in its non-violence; I believe in its effectiveness. Its dignity and its sense of commitment. Its focus on individuals and the concentration and tenacity with which they defend those imprisoned for their ideas has earned it the cautious respect of repressive governments throughout the world.” WorldFeelsBelieveKindIdeasGovernmentPoliticalIndividualI BelieveChurchPartyFocusViolenceWrittenGroupsMembersWeaponsCommitmentDignityLettersOrganizationPrisonInternationalI Believe InConcentrationCivilizedCurrencyPolitical PartiesEffectivenessCautiousTenacityNon ViolenceWritten WordAmnestyAmnesty International Author:Sting
