“Liberty is a harsh mistress. You cannot pick and choose what you like and dislike about her. Liberty will not change her principles for you, no matter how much you claim to love her. She will stand fast in her demands for total acceptance. If you can't receive her, she will recognize you as a false lover and leave you. And when you hear that door slam, it will take every tear in your eye, every ounce of blood in your veins, and all the nerve in your heart to win her back.” IfsHeartMatterEyeWinningLibertyPrinciplesDoorsBloodAcceptanceTearsLoversDemandPicksClaimsNervesDislikeHarshVeinsMistressSlamLike And DislikeTears In Your Eyes Author:William H.

“Overconsumption is a "cancer eating away at our spiritual vitals." It cuts the heart right out of our compassion. It distances us from the great masses of broken bleeding humanity. It converts us into materialists. We become less able to ask moral questions. For example, just because we have the economic muscle to buy up vast amounts of the world's oil, does that give us the right to do so? When the poor farmer of India is unable to buy a gallon of gasoline to run his simple water pump because the world's demand has priced him out of the market, who is to blame?” WorldGivingHeartDoeRunningAbleSpiritualHumanityAsksWaterSimplePoorCompassionMoralCuttingEconomicExampleBrokenAmountDemandEatingMassIndiaBlameDistanceCancerOilMusclesFarmersConsumerismBleedingPumpsOverconsumptionGasolineGallons Author:Richard J.

“The heart must be kept tender and pliable; otherwise agnosticism converts to skepticism. In such a case, the value of apologetics is voided, for apologetics is aimed at persuading doubters, not at refuting the defiant.
