“Who then is free? The wise who can command his passions, who fears not want, nor death, nor chains, firmly resisting his appetites and despising the honors of the world, who relies wholly on himself, whose angular points of character have all been rounded off and polished.” WorldWantCharacterPassionWiseHonorCommandChainsRelyAppetiteResistingFear NotPolished Author:Horace
“When I assumed command of the Pacific Fleet in 31 December, 1941; our submarines were already operating against the enemy, the only units of the Fleet that could come to grips with the Japanese for months to come. It was to the Submarine Force that I looked to carry the load until our great industrial activity could produce the weapons we so sorely needed to carry the war to the enemy. It is to the everlasting honor and glory of our submarine personnel that they never failed us in our days of peril.” WarForceEnemyProduceMonthsNeededHonorActivityWeaponsGloryCommandLoadUnitsEverlastingPerilDecemberPacificPersonnelSubmarines Author:Chester W.

“Under our institutions each individual is born to sovereignty. Whatever he may adopt as a means of livelihood, his real business is serving his country. He cannot hold himself above his fellow men.

“We need to pray for our nation like never before, and then put legs to our prayers and preach the gospel to a sin-loving and Hell-bound world. To pray for America and at the same time ignore that command to preach the gospel to every creature, is nothing but empty hypocrisy. It is to honor God with our lips and have cold hearts that are far from Him. May He give us a love that moves us from the pews into the streets, and from our homes into our universities. God save us from the cozy comfort of lukewarm contemporary Christianity.” WorldNeedsGivingHeartMayHomeAmericaMovingNationsPrayerSinChristianityHellStreetsColdPrayingHonorComfortCreaturesEmptyBoundsUniversityLipsLegsContemporaryCommandHypocrisyTrust In GodOur PrayersGospelCommitment To GodServant Of GodGreatness Of GodCozyPraise GodLukewarmCold Heart Author:Ray Comfort

“We're talking about everybody's free right to have choice. And so what we're also getting are interesting messages like you really need to obey the command of Allah and put a scarf on your head.

“The crown and glory of life is character. It is the noblest possession of a man, constituting a rank in itself, and an estate in the general good-will; dignifying every station, and exalting every position in society. It exercises a greater power than wealth, and secures all the honor without the jealousies of fame. It carries with it an influence which always tell; for it is the result of proved honor, rectitude, and consistency-qualities which, perhaps more than any other, command the general confidence and respect of mankind.” MenCharacterLife IsWealthResultsQualityGreaterInfluenceMankindPositionHonorExerciseFameGloryPossessionCommandCarrieStationsCrownsEstatesConsistencyGood WillGreater PowerRectitude Book:Happy Homes and the Hearts that Make Them.
