Religious faith is an important aspect of American culture and a fact of American political life.
The idle man is the devil's cushion.
Moderation is the silken string running through the pearl chain of all virtues.
Fools measure actions, after they are done, by the event; wise men beforehand, by the rules of reason and right. The former look to the end, to judge of the act. Let me look to the act, and leave the end with God.
Try to be of some use to others.
Let others either envy or pity me; I care not, so long as I enjoy myself.
Christian society is like a bundle of sticks laid together, whereof one kindles another. Solitary men have fewest provocations to evil, but, again, fewest incitations to good. So much as doing good is better than not doing evil will I account Christian good-fellowship better than an hermitish and melancholy solitariness.
Love, you are eternal like springtime.
Meet me in Cognito, baby. In Cognito, we'll have nothing to hide.
What a miracle, that all we have to do to be beautifully loving creatures is just relax and allow.
When men and women fail to form stable marriages, the result is a vast expansion of government attempts to cope with the terrible social needs that result. There is scarcely a dollar that the state and federal government spends on social programs that is not driven, in large part, by family fragmentation: crime, poverty, drug abuse, teen pregnancy, school failure, mental and physical health problems.
