“I think it's a very old and deep-seated double standard that holds that when a man writes about family and feelings, it's literature with a capital L, but when a woman considers the same topics, it's romance, or a beach book - in short, it's something unworthy of a serious critic's attention.” ThinkingMenWritingBookFeelingsRomanceLiteratureAttentionSeriousStandardsCriticsBeachTopicsUnworthyAbout FamilyDouble Standard Author:Jennifer Weiner
“Lower the Law and you dim the light by which man perceives his guilt; this is a very serious loss to the sinner rather than a gain; for it lessens the likelihood of his conviction and conversion. I say you have deprived the gospel of its ablest auxiliary [its most powerful weapon] when you have set aside the Law. You have taken away from it the schoolmaster that is to bring men to Christ . . . They will never accept grace till they tremble before a just and holy Law. Therefore the Law serves a most necessary purpose, and it must not be removed from its place.” MenLightLawPurposeChristLossPowerfulAcceptingTakenGraceSeriousHolyWeaponsGainsGuiltConvictionConversionPerceiveSinnerMost PowerfulDeprivedLikelihoodPowerful Weapons Author:Charles Spurgeon

No part of any of the existing state Constitutions contains any reference to the word. [The men] who were most influential in the institution and formulation of our government refer to 'democracy' only to distinguish it sharply from the republican form of our American Constitutional system.” MenWritingStatesGovernmentFormFatherTermDemocracyHonestStudentsHe ManSeriousRepublicanConstitutionIndependenceInstitutionsHistoricalRecallsAmerican HistoryDeclarationFoundingInfluentialOur Founding FathersDeclaration Of Independence Author:Clarence Manion
