“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
Preamble to THE CONSTITUTION of the United States. (First Paragraph!)
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
The Declaration of Independence
“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable. . . . And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”
President George Washington (In his farewell address)
“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
John Adams (to the officers of the Massachusetts militia in 1798)
“Whoever really has considered the lilies of the field or the birds of the air and pondered the improbability of their existence in this warm world within the cold and empty stellar distances will hardly balk at the turning of water into wine—which was, after all, a very small miracle. We forget the greater and still continuing miracle by which water (with soil and sunlight) is turned into grapes.”
Wendell Berry, “Christianity and the Survival of Creation”
“Gentle in what you do.
Firm in how you do it.”
Buck Brannaman (Horse Trainer)
“The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men. Gang aft a-gley” (or “goes wrong”). Or to translate, “the best laid plans of mice and men can still go wrong.“ No matter how well you plan, there is no guarantee of success.

Note: This is a comment from a Chinese Marxist economist after studying Democracy and Capitalism in Boston:
“I had no idea how critical religion is to the functioning of democracy and capitalism.” . . . He continued, “In your past, most Americans attended a church or synagogue every week. These are institutions that people respected. When you were there, from your youngest years, you were taught that you should voluntarily obey the law; that you should respect other people’s property, and not steal it. You were taught never to lie. Americans followed these rules because they had come to believe that even if the police didn’t catch them when they broke a law, God would catch them. Democracy works because most people most of the time voluntarily obey your laws. You can say the same for capitalism, “my friend continued. “It works because Americans have been taught in their churches that they should keep their promises and not tell lies. An advanced economy cannot function if people cannot expect that when they sign contracts, the other people will voluntarily uphold their obligations. Capitalism works because most people voluntarily keep their promises.”

“Don’t complain about things. Fix them!“
S. Alexander Edgar
“Life is a stage, and we don’t always know what will come out from behind the curtain and into our view. Much of what we see is wonderful. But occasionally, we are exposed to the evil or ugly side of life. We can’t always control what we will see. Images flash before our eyes and leave lasting impressions. However, we do have the power to avoid or minimize our exposure to their influence. Knowing when to turn away is wisdom! If you do not turn away, there is often regret.”
S. Alexander Edgar
“Our lives are filled with ups and downs. Some good and some not so good …some difficult, some rewarding, and some amazing. However, regardless of what we’re going through in our own lives, our animal companions still need to be fed.”
S. Alexander Edgar
“Those of us who may be struggling in lonely darkness and/or despair (whether by our own ignorance or our disobedience) can also feel the ‘immediate’ love and influence of the gospel in our lives when we turn from inappropriate behavior and embrace Jesus Christ (Book of Mormon, Alma 34:31). He will ‘immediately’ bless our lives with His love and the warmth of the gospel. We may not be made completely whole ‘immediately,’ but we will feel his love and have hope ‘immediately’ as the ‘great plan of redemption’ is ‘brought about’ in us. Pure and lasting joy will come as we learn more of Him, continue to follow Him, and embrace His Great Plan of Happiness.”
S. Alexander Edgar
“With the loss of a loving companion, we will often ask: ‘Why? Why must my children be without a loving mother or father?’ The truth is, we usually do not know why. But two things are sure; the Lord knows those of us who are left behind, and He trusts us enough to carry on and care for the needs and growth of our little ones. If we are true and diligent, we will enjoy many indescribable tender mercies.”

“One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year. He only is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with worry, fret, and anxiety. Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air. What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Being yourself will help you to solve the problems of your life. We need to trust ourselves in order to improve our life, like all great men have done. Self-reliance stems from within deep in our soul which is the pillar of our personal power and self-respect. This source of all greatness, sets us free form the ego and helps us to transcend through the ideals of love, truth and justice; some people call this the moral sense . The soul cannot be completely defined or described but it is the only thing we can be absolutely sure of, since all other facts are temporary. Being ourselves allows us to obtain many more answers and to understand our unconscious intentions. Humans may exceed their limited ideas by realizing that God does exists and that in Him, we will find many answers if we open ourselves to Him.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. We all suffer injustices to one degree or another. Though some of these have greater costs, our hurt and helplessness remain the same. Comparing our circumstances to others is dangerous. Because regardless of the situations, we all have similar feelings. Our choice in our response to those circumstances is what matters … how we think about them and how we act on them. In concentration camps … we watched and witnessed some of our comrades behave like swine while others behaved like saints. Man has both potentialities within himself… After all, man is the being who has invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however, he is also that being who has entered those gas chambers upright, with the Lord’s prayer or the Shema Israel on his lips. When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”
Dr. Viktor Frankl, Man’s Search For Meaning,
The Gettysburg Address (the Bliss Copy)
“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
“Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
“But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
President Abraham Lincoln, “The Gettysburg Address” (November 19, 1863)
“We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”
President Abraham Lincoln
“…as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said ‘the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.’ With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”
President Abraham Lincoln
“You can fool all people some of the time and some of the people all the time. But you can never fool all people all the time.”

“Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and, if true, of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is moderately important.”
C.S. Lewis
In the words of C. S. Lewis, the animation and renovation of human character “…is precisely what Christianity is about. This world is a great sculptor’s shop. We are the statues and there is a rumour going round the shop that some of us are some day going to come to life.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
“Some of us who seem quite nice people may, in fact, have made so little use of a good heredity and good upbringing that we are really worse than those whom we regard as fiends. That is why Christians are told not to judge. We see only the results which a man’s choices make out of his raw material. But God does not judge him on the raw material at all, but on what he has done with it.
“Most of the man’s psychological makeup is probably due to his body: when his body dies all that will fall off him, and the real central man, the thing that chose, that made the best or worst out of this material, will stand naked.
“All sorts of nice things which we thought our own, but which were really due to a good digestion, will fall off some of us: all sorts of nasty things which were due to complexes or bad health will fall off others. We shall then, for the first time, see every one as he really was. There will be surprises.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
“People often think of Christian morality as a kind of bargain in which God says, ‘If you keep a lot of rules I’ll reward you, and if you don’t I’ll do the other thing.’ I do not think that is the best way of looking at it. I would much rather say that every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before. And taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing either into a heavenly creature or into a hellish creature: either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow-creatures, and with itself.”

“In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”
C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man.
(What was Lewis’ point? He was referring to Relativism: The notion or idea that there are no absolute truths! Lewis believed “relativism would lead to the decay of morality and a lack of virtue within society. Without a belief in Universal Moral Laws, we would fail to educate the heart and are left with intelligent men who behave like animals.” Lewis put it: “Men without Chests.”)
“The framers of our Bill of Rights thought that religious freedom deserved double-barreled protection. Americans would have the right of ‘free exercise’ of their chosen faith, and government was forbidden to foster or control religion by means of an ‘establishment of religion.’ Today, an increasing number of scholars and activists say that ‘…religion is not so special after all. Churches are just another charity, faith is just another ideology and worship is just another weekend activity.’ All Americans—believers and nonbelievers alike—should resist this argument. . . . The religion clauses of the Constitution were the culmination of centuries of theological and political debate over the proper relationship between spiritual and temporal authority. . . .”
Michael McConnell, director of the Stanford Constitutional Law Center
“If ever there’s a tomorrow when we’re not together, there’s something you must remember …you’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we are apart, I will always be with you, …I will always be with you!”

“I think colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores, but they’re not for learning. …I don’t consider going to college as evidence of exceptional ability. …If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. In fact, ideally you dropped out and did something. (Bill) Gates is a pretty smart guy who dropped out. (Steve) Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. …Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out …like obviously not needed. …did Shakespeare even go to college, probably not.”
Elon Musk (The Wealthiest Man in the World)
“My children didn’t choose to be born, I chose to have children.
They owe me nothing, I owe them everything.”
Elon Musk
“Clearly, the family is the seedbed of economic skills, money habits, attitudes toward work, and the arts of financial independence. The family is a stronger agency of educational success than the school. The family is a stronger teacher of the religious imagination than the church. Political and social planning in a wise social order begin with the axiom: What strengthens the family strengthens society. Highly paid, mobile, and restless professionals may disdain the family (having been nurtured by its strengths), but those whom other agencies desert have only one institution in which to find essential nourishment.
The role of a father, a mother, and of children with respect to them, is the absolutely critical center of social force. … One unforgettable law has been learned painfully through all the oppressions, disasters, and injustices of the last thousand years: If things go well with the family, life is worth living; when the family falters, life falls apart.”
Michael Novak

“While America’s military strength is important … I’ve always maintained that the struggle now going on for the world will never be decided by bombs or rockets, by armies or military might. The real crisis we face today is a spiritual one; at root, it is a test of moral will and faith. Our enemies must be made to understand: We will never compromise our principles and standards. We will never give away our freedom. We will never abandon our belief in God.”
President Ronald Reagan
“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
President Theodore Roosevelt (1907)
“Great minds discuss ideas;

“You read Jane Austen [and] you put it back on the shelf and it makes no further demand of you until you feel like reading it again. But you read a sacred text and you put it back on the shelf [and] it’s still making a demand of you. It is saying this is a truth to be lived. . . . That is the difference between religion and culture. . . . Unless you hear a command [or] an obligation that comes from beyond you [or “from above you”] . . . you will not be able to generate sustainable, [actionable faith].”
Lord Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi of Great Britain
“The only man who behaved sensibly was my tailor; he took my measurements anew every time he saw me, while all the rest went on with their old measurements and expected them to fit me.”

“Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.”

“They who know of no purer sources of truth, who have traced up its stream no higher, stand, and wisely stand, by the Bible and the Constitution, and drink at it there with reverence and humanity; but they who behold where it comes trickling into this lake or that pool, gird up their loins once more, and continue their pilgrimage toward its fountainhead.”
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
No man with a genius for legislation has appeared in America. They are rare in the history of the world. There are orators, politicians, and eloquent men, by the thousand; but the speaker has not yet opened his mouth to speak who is capable of settling the much-vexed questions of the day. We love eloquence for its own sake, and not for any truth which it may utter, or any heroism it may inspire. Our legislators have not yet learned the comparative value of free trade and of freed, of union, and of rectitude, to a nation. They have no genius or talent for comparatively humble questions of taxation and finance, commerce and manufactures and agriculture. If we were left solely to the wordy wit of legislators in Congress for our guidance, uncorrected by the seasonable experience and the effectual complaints of the people, America would not long retain her rank among the nations. For eighteen hundred years, though perchance I have no right to say it, the New Testament has been written; yet where is the legislator who has wisdom and practical talent enough to avail himself of the light which it sheds on the science of legislation.
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate county, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.”
“When we consider what… is the chief end of man, and what are the true necessaries and means of life, it appears as if men had deliberately chosen the common mode of living because they preferred it to any other. Yet they honestly think there is no choice left. But alert and healthy natures remember that the sun rose clear. It is never too late to give up our prejudices. No way of thinking or doing, however ancient, can be trusted without proof. What everybody echoes or in silence passes by as true to-day may turn out to be falsehood tomorrow, mere smoke of opinion, which some had trusted for a cloud that would sprinkle fertilizing rain on their fields. What old people say you cannot do, you try and find that you can.”
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
“It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten track for ourselves. … It is true, I fear that others may have fallen into it, and so helped to keep it open. The surface of the earth is soft and impressible by the feet of men; and so with the paths which the mind travels. How worn and dusty, then, must be the highways of the world, how deep the ruts of tradition and conformity!”
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
“Our country was founded under George Washington’s leadership, as he led our army to win the War of Independence. During the War, Thomas Paine said, ‘These are the times that try men’s souls.’ Today we face a similar test (…trying our souls). And, in this test lies the fate of the world. The forces of evil want to see us surrender. The American tradition teaches we meet tyranny with defiance and threats with courage. It teaches drawing on the resources of faith to counter evil. At this critical moment, Americans need to come together to take a stand against fraud and in favor of truth: to choose freedom over communism, and good over evil. … This is about whether we can still have a free country.”
President Donald J. Trump

“Remind students that one of the central missions of the university, which justifies its existence, is to get at the truth. …that requires honest debate, patience, intellectual honesty, investigation, and a lot of hard work. But it also is not for the faint of heart. And that is a lesson that is almost never transmitted today. That offense, bruising thoughts, and unpleasant facts simply go with the territory. They are an intrinsic feature of an open society, and they never can be entirely avoided. No one can be heard to say, ‘I’m offended.’ They all have permission to be offended. But they just can’t express it. No one should be allowed to accuse anyone else, in the classroom or out, dead or alive, of being racist, sexist, xenophobic, white supremacist, or any other derisive, identity-based label. No slurs or name-calling. These don’t enlighten, educate, or edify. They add nothing. Give us an argument. Tell us why the other person is wrong.”
Professor Amy L. Wax, University of Pennsylvania Law School
“Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!”
William Wordsworth
“Who would want to go to Mars, set up colonies, and live there? The theory is: ‘Life on earth becomes unlivable in the future. So, let’s go to a place where it’s negative 80 degrees on average, the atmosphere is toxic and you can’t breathe it, and once every few years there are massive dust storms that cover the entire planet.’ (Ya, let’s go there instead of living here on Earth! …NOT!)”

“If you live in America today, Congratulations! You now live in the most advanced and prosperous civilization in history. And you get to enjoy a life of luxury and comfort that would have been unthinkable to the vast majority of humans who have ever lived, and even live today. You are in the one percent (you are probably in the one percent of the one percent)! And of all people who have ever existed on the planet, you are easily wealthier and more comfortable than 99% of them. You also have more freedom than 99% of them, more opportunity than 99% of them. In fact, no matter who you are, you are virtually guaranteed a stable and successful life …if you simply: 1) Graduate High School, 2) Refrain from committing any serious crime, 3) Refrain from using hard drugs, 4) Work moderately hard, and 5) Get married before you have children. That’s it! Do all of that. We’re talking about the bear low effort minimum. Do all of that and you will certainly not end up homeless, you will certainly not starve in this country, you will certainly not die of exposure or malnutrition, and you will have an extremely high chance of living a well-adjusted, relative happy and comparatively prosperous life. The world has never given more in exchange for less. That is a fact!”
