“As a child walking over a slippery and dangerous path cries out, "Father, I am falling!" and has but a moment to catch his father's hand, so every believer sees hours when only the hand of Jesus comes between him and the abysses of destruction.” ChildrenMomentsHandsFallFatherJesusChristHoursPathDangerousCryWalkingDestructionBelieverAbyssSlippery Author:Theodore L.

“The conclusions seem inescapable that in certain circles a tendency has arisen to fear people who fear government. Government, as the Father of Our Country put it so well, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. People who understand history, especially the history of government, do well to fear it. For a people to express openly their fear of those of us who are afraid of tyranny is alarming. Fear of the state is in no sense subversive. It is, to the contrary, the healthiest political philosophy for a free people.” PeopleWellsCountryStatesPhilosophySeemsGovernmentPoliticalCertainFatherDangerousMastersGunContraryCirclesTyrannyTendenciesConclusionOur CountryServantFearfulPolitical PhilosophySubversive Author:Jeff Cooper

“Much is made of the accelerating brutality of young people's crimes, but rarely does our concern for dangerous children translateinto concern for children in danger. We fail to make the connection between the use of force on children themselves, and violent antisocial behavior, or the connection between watching father batter mother and the child deducing a link between violence and masculinity.” PeopleChildrenDoeMadeUseYoungMotherFatherForceViolenceFailingDangerousCrimeDangerBehaviorConcernConnectionsViolentLinksMasculinityBrutalityAntisocialUse Of ForceAntisocial Behavior Book:Family politics: love and power on an intimate frontier Source: Family politics: love and power on an intimate frontier

“The Fathers of the Church can well afford to preach the gospel of Christ. It contains nothing dangerous to the regime of authority and wealth; it stands for self-denial and self-abnegation, for penance and regret, and is absolutely inert in the face of every [in]dignity, every outrage imposed upon mankind.” WellsSelfFacesFatherChristChurchWealthMankindDangerousRegretAuthorityDignityDenialRegimesOutrageSelf-denialPenanceAbnegation Book:Red Emma Speaks: An Emma Goldman Reader Source: Red Emma Speaks: An Emma Goldman Reader

“The American Founding Fathers gave us courts, independent jurists. They left room for civil society, which meant that citizens could directly associate in order to bring pressure on their governments. And they gave us a free press. They understood that you might have in the presidency someone who wanted to arrogate power into themselves. And they believed that was dangerous, having just experienced King George. And so they built a balanced system.” FatherDangerousIndependentCivil Society Author:Condoleezza Rice
