“To overcome extremism, we must also be vigilant in upholding the values our troops defend because there is no force in the world more powerful than the example of America. That is why I have ordered the closing of the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, and will seek swift and certain justice for captured terrorists because living our values doesn't make us weaker, it makes us safer and it makes us stronger.” WorldAmericaCertainValuesForceJusticePowerfulExampleOvercomingStrongerTerroristTroopsClosingExtremismCapturedVigilantOur TroopsDetentionGuantanamoGuantanamo Bay Author:Barack Obama
“Ought a man to be confident that he deserves his good fortune, and think much of himself when he has overcome a nation, or city, or empire; or does fortune give this as an example to the victor also of the uncertainty of human affairs, which never continue in one stay? For what time can there be for us mortals to feel confident, when our victories over others especially compel us to dread fortune, and while we are exulting, the reflection that the fatal day comes now to one, now to another, in regular succession, dashes our joy.” ThinkingMenGivingFeelsHumansDoeJoyNationsCitiesExampleOughtVictoryReflectionDeserveOvercomingFortuneAffairMortalsUncertaintyEmpiresDreadGood FortuneSuccessionBe Confident Book:Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans: Complete Source: Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans: Complete

“Non-cooperative approaches, by contrast, almost always involve duplication of effort, since someone working independently must spend time and skills on problems that already have been encountered and overcome by someone else.

“It is because of that balanced relationship to the moment that mindfulness serves as the platform for insight... if we feel an emotion, for example, and struggle against it right away, there is not going to be a lot of learning going on.

“We need strong Christians who can persevere against hardship, who can sustain hope through tragedy, who can lift others by their example and their compassion, and who can consistently overcome temptations. We need strong Christians who can make important things happen by their faith and who can defend the truth of Jesus Christ against moral relativism and militant atheism. What is the source of such moral and spiritual power, and how do we obtain it? The source is God. Our access to that power is through our covenants with Him.” NeedsImportantHappensChristianSpiritualJesusStrongChristCompassionMoralAtheismExampleSourceJesus ChristOvercomingTragedyImportant ThingsAccessThings HappenTemptationLiftsHardshipConsistentlyPersevereCovenantMilitantRelativismSpiritual PowerMoral Relativism Author:D.

“When I left England, my hope of India's conversion was very strong; but amongst so many obstacles, it would die, unless upheld by God. Well, I have God, and His Word is true. Though the superstitions of the heathen were a thousand times stronger than they are, and the example of the Europeans a thousand times worse; though I were deserted by all and persecuted by all, yet my faith, fixed on the sure Word, would rise above all obstructions and overcome every trial. God's cause will triumph.
