“People in the United States, including me, are naturally inclined to support Israel. I'm an evangelical Christian who teaches the Bible every Sunday at my church.

“A single word indicative of doubt, that any thing, or every thing, in that country is not the very best in the world, produces an effect which must be seen and felt to be understood. If the citizens of the United States were indeed the devoted patriots they call themselves, they would surely not thus encrust themselves in the hard, dry, stubborn persuasion, that they are the first and best of the human race, that nothing is to be learnt, but what they are able to teach, and that nothing is worth having, which they do not possess.” IfsWorldFirstsHumansCountryHardStatesAbleFeltUnitedRaceTeachUnited StatesDoubtEffectsProduceCitizensUnderstoodHuman RaceArroganceDryDevotedPatriotStubbornPersuasionSingle Word Book:Domestic Manners of the Americans: Complete in One Volume Source: Domestic Manners of the Americans: Complete in One Volume
“The spirit of Dr. [Martin Luther] King and the thousands of people he worked with set the races on a different course in the United States...

“Certainly the Old Testament does not teach us that there is another life, and upon that question even the New is obscure and vague. The hunger of the heart finds only a few small and scattered crumbs. There is nothing definite, solid, and satisfying. United with the idea of immortality we find the absurdity of the resurrection. A prophecy that depends for its fulfillment upon an impossibility, cannot satisfy the brain or heart.” HeartDoeIdeasUnitedBrainTeachDependsHungerImmortalityFulfillmentSatisfyingResurrectionProphecyDefiniteVagueAbsurdityObscureTestamentImpossibilityOld TestamentAnother LifeCrumbs Book:Miscellany Source: Miscellany
