Without the work of the cross we would be quite helpless. The
cross enables us to come out free from under the heaviest and
most powerful mental bondage. Not all the power of Satan, or
sin, or habit can hold us captive any longer.

Classic Quotes by Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855) English writer
A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow.
---------------
Consistency, madam, is the first of Christian duties.
---------------
Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. To pluck the mask from the face of the Pharisee is not to lift an impious hand to the Crown of Thorns.
---------------
Feeling without judgment is a washy draught indeed; but judgment untempered by feeling is too bitter and husky a morsel for human deglutition.
---------------
If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love friends for their sake rather than for our own.
---------------
It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
---------------
Let your performance do the thinking.
---------------
Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity, or registering wrongs.
---------------
Life is so constructed, that the event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation.
---------------
Look twice before you leap.

• Sat 28 Feb 2009 - Thomas Jefferson...If he could see us now!
When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe .
Thomas Jefferson
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson
It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care
of them.
Thomas Jefferson
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

• Wed 18 Feb 2009 - Classic Quote....Thomas Jefferson
He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier
to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes
habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths
without the world's believing him. This falsehood of the tongue
leads
-- Thomas Jefferson |

• Mon 16 Feb 2009 - Very Profound
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
~~~ The late Dr. Adrian Rogers , 1931 to 2005 ~~~

Classic Quotes by Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) Italian Astronomer
The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.
--------------------
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
--------------------
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
--------------------
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.
--------------------
The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.
--------------------
You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him discover it in himself.
--------------------
They know that it is human nature to take up causes whereby a man may oppress his neighbor, no matter how unjustly... Hence they have had no trouble in finding men who would preach the ****ability and heresy of the new doctrine from the very pulpit.
--------------------
If I were again beginning my studies, I would follow the advice of Plato and start with mathematics.
--------------------
I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the Scriptures, but with experiments, and demonstrations.
--------------------
Doubt is the father of invention.
--------------------
It is surely harmful to souls to make it a heresy to believe what is proved.
--------------------

• Sat 7 Feb 2009 - Sunday's Quote...This is a great one
Dressed in Gentleness
Once in a while we meet a gentle person. Gentleness is a virtue hard to find in a society that admires toughness and roughness. We are encouraged to get things done and to get them done fast, even when people get hurt in the process. Success, accomplishment, and productivity count. But the cost is high. There is no place for gentleness in such a milieu.
Gentle is the one who does "not break the crushed reed, or snuff the faltering wick" (Matthew 12:20). Gentle is the one who is attentive to the strengths and weaknesses of the other and enjoys being together more than accomplishing something. A gentle person treads lightly, listens carefully, looks tenderly, and touches with reverence. A gentle person knows that true growth requires nurture, not force. Let's dress ourselves with gentleness. In our tough and often unbending world our gentleness can be a vivid reminder of the presence of God among us.
- HenriNouwen |

• Mon 26 Jan 2009 - Something We All Need to Remember........
The world rings changes, it is never constant but in its
disappointments. The world is but a great inn, where we are to
stay a night or two, and be gone; what madness is it so to set
our heart upon our inn, as to forget our home?
-- Thomas Watson |
