A stronger man stands up for others.

I can not give credit for this quote where it is due because I do not remember where I got it.  I believe it came from Biblical Worldview Magazine ( www.AmericanVision.org ) I have this one in my living room.  It is one of the first quotes people see when they visit me.

There are some things that are wrong no matter how often someone calls for toleration in the name of good will.

I have some more quotes for your wall.  I believe I stated it earlier.  I am one of those odd people who actually print up and put quotes on her walls.

If you keep your mind sufficiently open, people will throw a lot of rubbish into it.

I actually have this one printed up and hanging in my library.  I believe it can be credited to Jerry Hanson.

Eighty percent of all books have been published since 1980.  Eighty percent of those would have been better off left as trees...

I once helped a child of a friend of mine do a book report and was shocked at the garbage that the schools have the kids read.  Some of the books that they are REQUIRED to read have lesbian overtones, violence, cuss words and these are elementary school kids.  I can not tell you the excuses given.  Well, we know these books have some "questionable" material, but they help kids to see they need to not be ashamed who they are.  Am I the only human being on the planet that has read Ann of Green Gables?  Little House on the Prairie? Around the World in Eighty Days?

I feel sorry for public school kids.  They will grow up thinking that the drivel handed to them in class is good literature, when the only usefullness it serves is to line a bird cage. They will never know what joy reading the truely great literary works until they are adults.  They will miss out on the awe and excitement that only a child can experience.

I do not remember the name of this missionary, but the story goes something like this.  A young man, from considerable wealth and on the way to an incredible carrer, got saved and went onto the mission field did great things for God; much to the displeasure of his family who disowned him.  He was killed and his only possession his Bible was shipped home.  This prayer was written in the front and the only explaination his mother claimed ever got as to why her son left home. 

Oh, Lord, please help me to live my life so that my last two words on Earth may be, "No regrets."

Yes, I am one of those odd people who print up quotes and put them on my walls.  I am going to start sharing some with you.  Sorry, I can not give credit where it is due because I do not remember where this came from.

Religion is humans trying to work their way to God.

Christianity is God coming to men and women through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

I saw this on a t-shirt today.
