“About 25 years ago, I took a bicycle across the United States. I soon found out that the greatest item of clothing was the trusty bandanna. There were dozens of uses for a bandanna - as a pot holder, a chain cleaner, a sun shield, a headband, a snot rag, a declaration of Kerouacian intent.” YearsStatesUseFoundUnitedUnited StatesSunYears AgoChainsPotClothingsDozenDeclarationItemsShieldsBicycleCleanersRagsHeadbands Author:Colum McCann
“Mary lived in the divine Eucharist, the center of her love. All her thoughts, words, and actions sprang from It like the rays from the sun. The Eucharist was the oracle which she consulted, the grace which she followed. But Jesus Christ in His Sacrament lives the same life of love which consumed Him in His mortal days. In His sacramental state He continues to adore His Father by His depthless self-abasement. He is still the Mediator and Interceder with divine goodness for the salvation of men” MenStillsSelfStatesActionFatherJesusChristSunGraceDivineGoodnessJesus ChristSalvationMortalsRaysMarySacramentsAdoreConsumedEucharistOraclesWords And ActionsMediatorsAbasement Author:Peter Julian Eymard
“One of the things that sets the Bible apart from all other ancient religious writings is its scientific accuracy. Without exception, every other ancient religious writing contains certain scientific errors. For example, Muhammad taught in the Qur'an that the sun descends down into a muddy spring. The Hindu Vedas state that the Earth is flat and triangular, that earthquakes are caused by elephants shaking themselves under it. You'll never read absurd statements like those in the Bible.” WritingStatesEarthCertainReligiousSunExampleTaughtSpringBibleErrorsAncientStatementsAbsurdExceptionFlatsElephantsShakingMuhammadEarthquakesAccuracyMuddyVedas Author:Charlie Campbell
“Accounts of outrages committed by mobs form the every-day news of the times. They have pervaded the country from New England to Louisiana, they are neither peculiar to the eternal snows of the former nor the burning suns of the latter; they are not the creature of climate, neither are they confined to the slaveholding or the non-slaveholding States. Alike they spring up among the pleasure-hunting masters of Southern slaves, and the order-loving citizens of the land of steady habits. Whatever then their cause may be, it is common to the whole country.” MayCountryStatesWholeFormOrderCausesPleasureCommonSunLandMastersHabitCitizensCreaturesEternalNewsSpringAccountsEnglandSlaveClimateCommittedSnowFormerBurningLatterSouthernPeculiarSteadyHuntingConfinedOutrageLouisianaNew England Book:Lincoln: Political Writings and Speeches Source: Lincoln: Political Writings and Speeches
