“There's so much benevolence on helping your fellow person. And the morality that helped build our country is based on the values that are found in the Bible. And as we look at problems, maybe we're getting away from those values. And in my little small way, I want to encourage people to get back into those values.” PeopleWayWantLooksLittlesPersonsCountryHelpingProblemValuesFoundMoralityFellowsOur CountryGet AwayGet BackBenevolence Author:Tom Hayden
“Christianity seems at first to be all about morality, all about duties and rules and guilt and virtue, yet it leads you on, out of all that, into something beyond. One has a glimpse of a country where they do not talk of those things, except perhaps as a joke. Every one there is filled full with what we should call goodness as a mirror is filled with light. But they do not call it goodness. They do not call it anything. They are not thinking of it. They are too busy looking at the source from which it comes.” ThinkingShouldFirstsCountryLightSeemsChristianityVirtueDutySourceMoralityGoodnessJokesMirrorsFilledGuiltBusyGlimpseToo Busy Book:A Year with C.

“Blessed be the inventor of photography! I set him above even the inventor of chloroform! It has given more positive pleasure to poor suffering humanity than anything else that has ''cast up'' in my time or is like to -- this art by which even the ''poor'' can possess themselves of tolerable likenesses of their absent dear ones. And mustn't it be acting favorably on the morality of the country?” ArtCountrySufferingHumanityGivenPleasurePoorActingMoralityPhotographyBlessedDearCastsMy TimeAbsentInventorTolerableDear OnesChloroform Author:Jane Welsh Carlyle
“In England Giordano Bruno had given lectures on the plurality of worlds, and in that country had written, in Italian, his most important works. It added not a little to the exasperation against him, that he was perpetually declaiming against the insincerity, the impostures, of his persecutors - that wherever he went he found skepticism varnished over and concealed by hypocrisy; and that it was not against the belief of men, but against their pretended belief, that he was fighting; that he was struggling with an orthodoxy that had neither morality nor faith.” MenWorldLittlesImportantCountryFightingFoundBeliefGivenStruggleWrittenAtheismMoralityEnglandPositive AtheismHypocrisyWorking ItItalianSkepticismLecturesOrthodoxyConcealedInsincerityImportant WorkExasperation Author:John William Draper
