Franklin D. Roosevelt
President
Nov.21, 1933
"In short we are likely to do better by building our house of World Order from the bottom up than from the top down. It will look like a great booming, buzzing, confusion to use William James' famous description of reality but an end run around National Sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, is likely to get us to World Order faster than the old fashion frontal attack".
Richard Gardner
US Deputy
Assistant Secretary of State
"Our work targets world infidels. Our enemy is the crusader alliance led by America, Britain and Israel.
It is a crusader-Jewish alliance." -
Osama bin Laden, from a TIME interview, 1998
The reins of government have been so long slackened, that I fear the people will not quietly submit to those restraints which are necessary for the peace and security of the community.

Ultimately, America's answer to the intolerant man is diversity, the very diversity which our heritage of religious freedom has inspired.
-Robert F. Kennedy
You can't say that civilization don't advance … for in every war they kill you a new way.
-Will Rogers
When great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved, as a rule the majority are wrong.
-Eugene V. Debs
What most people don't seem to realize is that there is just as much money to be made out of the wreckage of a civilization as from the upbuilding of one.
-Margaret Mitchell
It breaks his heart that kings must murder still, / That all his hours of travail here for men / Seem yet in vain. And who will bring white peace / That he may sleep upon his hill again?
-Vachel Lindsay
"There is a power so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive that prudent men better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it".

seen. There is not a man within the sound of my voice who does not know that this nation is run by International Bankers".
Louis McFadden, Congressmen, Chairman of House Committe on Banking and Foreign Currency
"The Constitution is gone"
Supreme Court Justice Reynolds
"It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years"......"The supernational sovereignity of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries".
David Rockefeller, International Banker
"This widespread conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization has been steadily growing"
Winston Churchill
"There is a world wide conspiracy to enslave every man, woman and child on this planet. It is diabolical in it's intelligence, and the darkest of evil to it's core. It will succeed because no one belives such a conspiracy exists and so few voices are raised against it. This came from an Organization called Primary Target America.
This huge monetary and occultic spiritual collossus runs its operations from the United Nations
New mercies, each returning day, Hover around us while we pray;
New perils past, new sins forgiven, New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
John Keble.
Our safety is in having lofty ideals, and in constant labor to secure their realization. Let the getting of money be a man's ideal, and he will of necessity grow toward the dust; let a man hunger and thirst after the
kingdom of God, and he will grow into strength and enjoy an unspeakable peace.
Joseph Parker.
Where true love bestows its sweetness,Where true friendship lays its hand, Dwells all greatness, all completeness,All the wealth of every land. Man is greater than condition,And where man himself bestows,
He begets and gives position;To the gentlest that he knows.
Anon.
No true manhood can be trained by a merely intellectual process. You cannot train men by the intellect alone; you must train them by the heart; and this shows the fundamental mistake which is being made by some
modern teachers. You can never train a Church out of the head; you may have a Church so-called, and you may open halls and bring to them the most scientific men in Europe, and you may lecture on all scientific topics,
yet you can never make a Church out of the head. You must take hold of manhood by the heart, if you would train it into strength and dignity and usefulness.
Joseph Parker.
In our society there is a standing antagonism between the conservative and the democratic classes; between the interest of dead labor, that is, the labor of hands long ago still in the grave, which labor is now entombed in money, stocks, and land owned by idle capitalists, and the interest of living labor, which seeks to possess itself of them.
R. W. Emerson.
The frost which kills the harvest of a year saves the harvests of a century, by destroying the weevil or the locust. Wars, fires, plagues, break up immovable routine, clear the ground of rotten races and dens of distemper,
and open a fair field to new men. There is a tendency in things to right themselves, and the war or revolution or bankruptcy that shatters a rotten system allows things to take a new and natural order.
R. W. Emerson.
We should waste no moments in weak regret. If the day were but one; If what we remember and what we forget
Went out with the sun; We should be from our clamorous selves set free, To work or to pray,
To be what the Father would have us be, If we had but a day.
Mrs. M. L. Dickinson.
"He that hath ears to hear, let him hear," said the gracious Christ. If we did but listen with attentive ear we should catch the consonance of universal music. Nature is not dumb, 'tis we who are deaf. If we did but listen, we should hear the mute flowers singing their low, sweet melodies; and the tossing pines would chant for us a psalm; and even the very silence itself would have a voice for our inner ear, and a sacred message for our waiting hearts.
Elmo.
For every grain of wit there is a grain of folly. For everything you have missed, you have gained something else; and for everything you gain, you lose something. If the gatherer gathers too much, nature takes out of the
man what she puts into his chest; swells the estate, but kills the owner. Nature hates monopolies and exceptions.
R. W. Emerson.
You never get to the end of Christ's words. There is something in them always behind. They pass into proverbs, they pass into laws, they pass into doctrines, they pass into consolations; but they never pass away; and, after all the use that is made of them, they are still not exhausted.
Dean Stanley.
The only things that look familiar at sea are the clouds. These are messengers from home, and how weary and disconsolate they appear, stretching out along the horizon, as if looking for a hill or mountain top to
rest upon - nothing to hold them up - a roof without walls, a span without piers. One gets the impression that they are grown faint, and must presently, if they reach much farther, fall into the sea.
Anon.
When the hour of death comes, that comes to high and low, then it is not what we have done for ourselves, but what we have done for others, that we think on most pleasantly.
Sir Walter Scott.
Among so many, can He care? Can special love be everywhere? I asked: my soul bethought of this:
In just that very place of His Where He hath put and keepeth you, God hath no other thing to do?
Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney.
Oh, how many are the eyes that weep, and the hearts that ache! Cold, cold is the winter about us now, and deep the snow, but hidden away beneath, all the flowers are waiting to bloom, and the sweet birds of song are on the
way to welcome brighter days. Oh, sad hearts, look up and live! look away from sorrow and tears to the happier shores where all the loved ones are gathering, and to the home where the weary are at rest.
H. W. Thomas.
God speaks to every soul of man with his still, small, gentle voice. And what is more natural? If he is our Father, he will want to speak to us. If he loves us, he will want to tell us of his love. For love that remains unrevealed and unuttered is a torture. God speaks to all men, but his tenderest messages are for those who listen and wait in loving patience. How wise we might become, how our sad hearts would often times be comforted, if our attitude was like that of Hannah's son, who, amid the silence of Shiloh's ancient sanctuary, cried, "Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth."
Elmo.
Blessed is the man who has the gift of making friends, for it is one of God's best gifts.
Thomas Hughes.
O Lord, how happy should we be, If we could cast our care on Thee, If we from self could rest;
And feel at heart that One above In perfect wisdom, perfect love, Is working for the best.
How far from this our daily life How oft disturb'd by anxious strife, By sudden wild alarms;
Oh, could we but relinquish all Our earthly props, and simply fall On Thine Almighty arms!
John Keble.
O Father! though the anxious fear May cloud tomorrow's way, Nor fear nor doubt shall enter here;
All shall be Thine today. Sleep, sleep today, tormenting cares, Of earth and folly born; Ye shall not dim the light that streams From this celestial morn. At least until tomorrow - wait; Keep back your harsh control; Today ye shall not desecrate The Sabbath of the soul.
Anon.
Truth subsists eternally, and finally triumphs over its enemies, because it
is eternal and strong even as God himself.
Blaise Pascal.
And then be thankful; O admire his ways, Who fills the world's unempty'd granaries! A thankless feeder is a thief, his feast A very robbery, and himself no guest.
Henry Vaughan.
The less government we have, the better - the fewer laws, and the less confided power. The antidote to this abuse of formal government is, the influence of private character, the growth of the individual.
R. W. Emerson.
Pride is base from the necessary foolishness of it, because at its best - that is, when grounded on a just estimation of our own elevation or superiority above certain others - it cannot but imply that our eyes look downward only, and have never been raised above our own measure, for there is not the man so lofty in his standing nor capacity but he must be
humble in thinking of the cloud habitation and far sight of the angelic intelligences above him, and in perceiving what infinity there is of things he cannot know or even reach unto, as it stands compared with that little
body of things he can reach.
John Ruskin.
A cunning man is never a firm man, but an honest man is; a double-minded man is always unstable, a man of faith is firm as a rock; honesty is faith applied to worldly things, and faith is honesty quickened by the Spirit to
the use of heavenly things.
Edward Irving.
I believe that a great and good newspaper is as sacred in its own way as the Bible. It has something in it of the very present word of God to man, and the very present word of man to God.
Robert Collyer.
Tender Spirit! dwell with me; I myself would tender be; Shut my heart up like a flower, At temptation's darksome hour; Open it when shines the Sun, And His love by fragrance own.
T. T. Lynch.
Whoever sincerely endeavors to do all the good he can will probably do much more than he imagines, or will ever know to the day of judgment, when the secrets of all hearts shall be manifest.
Anon.
Christianity means to the merchant that he should be honest; to the judge it means that he should be just; to the servant, that he should be faithful; to the school boy, that he should be diligent; to the street-sweeper, that he should sweep clean; to every worker, that his work shall be well done.
Anon.
Poverty is uncomfortable, as I can testify; but nine times out of ten, the best thing that can happen to a young man is to be tossed overboard and compelled to sink or swim for himself. In all my acquaintance, I never
knew a man to be drowned who was worth the saving.
James A. Garfield.
Consider how much more you often suffer from your anger and grief than from those very things for which you are angry and grieved.
Marcus Antonius.
The farmer is covetous of his dollar, and with reason. It is no waif to him. He knows how many strokes of labor it represents. His bones ache with the day's work that earned it He knows how much land it represents -
how much rain, frost and sunshine. He knows that, in the dollar, he givesyou so much discretion and patience, so much hoeing and threshing. Try to lift his dollar; you must lift all that weight. In the city, where money
follows the skit of a pen, or a lucky rise in exchange, it comes to be looked on as light.
R. W. Emerson.
The less men think, the more they talk.
Montesquieu.
To get a few flowers, one must sow plenty of seed.
Archbishop Whately.
Jesus! the very thought of Thee With sweetness fills my breast; But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest. Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame, Nor can the memory find
A sweeter sound than Thy blest name, O Savior of Mankind!
Saint Bernard
Constantly rising up, a man should reflect and ask, "What good thing have
I done this day? The setting sun will carry away a portion of my life."
Anon.
Nor love thy life, Nor hate; but whilst thou livest, Live well.
John Milton.
Some books are to be tasted, others swallowed, and some few to be digested.
Lord Bacon.
It is a belief in the Bible, the fruits of deep meditations which has served me as the guide of my moral and literary life. I have found it a capital safely invested, and highly productive of interest.
Wolfgang Von Goeth.
All that is human must retrograde if it do not advance.
Edward Gibbon.
He serves all who dares be true.
R. W. Emerson.
Are there not women who fill our vase with wine and roses to the brim, so that the wine runs over and fills the house with perfume; who inspire us with courtesy; who unloose our tongues, and we speak; who anoint our eyes, and we see? We say things we never thought to have said; for once,
our walls of habitual reserve vanished, and left us at large; we were children playing with children in a wide field of flowers. Steep us, we cried, in these influences, for days, for weeks, and we shall be sunny
poets, and will write out in many colored words the romance that you are.
R. W. Emerson.
To God, thy countrie and thy friend be true; If priest and people change, keep thou thy ground.
Who sells religion is a Judas Jew; And oathes once broke the soul cannot be sound.
The perjurer's a devil let loose; what can Tie up his hands, that dares mock God and man?
Henry Vaughan.
The practice of swearing to the truth of anything makes two kinds of truth or truthfulness. If oaths are of any avail, by so much as they make truth more certain by so much they lessen the value of any ordinary statement, and diminish the probability of its truth. If ignorant persons are not sworn they think they may tell lies with impunity, and their lying is made to a large extent blameless in their eyes. I think oaths and oath taking have done more than any other thing to impair and destroy a regard for truth.
John Bright.
Self-ease is pain; thy only rest Is labor for a worthy end.
J. G. Whittier.
Borrowing is the canker and death of every man's estate.
Sir W. Raleigh.
Where Christ brings His cross, He brings His presence, and where He is
none are desolate, and there is no room for despair.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
Anger is as a stone cast into a wasp's nest.
Malabar Proverb.
O Christ! that it were possible For one short hour to see
The souls we love, that they might tell Us what and where they be.
Anon.
No man is at liberty to live backward. If the prophets underwent misjudgment and torment by reason of having to live in the future, what shall be said of those poor rickety creatures who are always trying to go
back into the dim past, to exhume the prophets, and to live three or four centuries behind their privileges?
Joseph Parker.
The great bell of Moscow is too large to be hung: the question arises, what was the use of making it? Some preachers are so learned that they cannot make themselves understood, or else cannot bring their minds to preach plain, gospel sermons; here, too, the same question might be asked.
C. H. Spurgeon.
I have no fear of death, but only of long waiting for it. When once a man has made up his mind that God means to do him good, he ceases to fear death.
Anthony Trollope.
He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.
J. Von Goeth.
Let us be patient! These severe afflictions Not from the ground arise, But oftentimes celestial benedictions Assume this dark disguise.
H. W. Longfellow.
He that has something to do has less temptation to doubt than the man who has nothing else to do but to doubt. Heresies in the Christian church come never from the faithful pastor, but always from the gentlemen at ease, who take no actual part in our holy war.
C. H. Spurgeon.
