Thought for the day:

"Give me grace to amend my life, and to have an eye to mine end, without grudge of death, which to them that die in thee,
good Lord, is the gate of a wealthy life." St. Thomas More

THREE THINGS

"Three things are necessary for the salvation of man; to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do."
St. Thomas Aquinas

Rights of Man?

"The people have heard quite enough about what are called the 'rights of man'. Let them hear about the rights of God for once". Pope Leo XIII Tamesti future, Encyclical

Eternity

All souls owe their eternity to Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, many have turned their back to him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA--PART I


I thought I'd offer, for the next three days, some insight of our Founding Fathers, and their thoughts of how a country should be. I mean really, this is the day, July 2nd, when America should be celebrating, since it is when the Constitution was actually completed and read. It was signed on the Fourth. Any way, just some things to think about, here goes:

"If the freedom of speech is taken away, then the dumb and silent may be led like sheep to the slaughter." George Washington

"It does not take a majority to prevail...but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." Samuel Adams

"This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave." Elmer Davis

"Equal rights for all, special privileges for none." Thomas Jefferson

"Bad men cannot make good citizens. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom." Patrick Henry
