"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."
--attributed to Patrick Henry (1736-1799),
American Revolutionary leader and orator

"I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance."
--Luke 15:7

"How frail is the heart! How dim is human foresight! We behold the gilded bait of temptation, and know not until taught by experience, that the admission of one errour is but the introduction of calamity. One mistake imperceptibly leads to another -- but the consequences of the whole bursting suddenly on the devoted head of an unfortunate wanderer, becomes intolerable."
--William Hill Brown, in The Power of Sympathy (1789)

"Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud."
--Sophocles (ca. 495-406 B.C.)

--Turkish proverb

pencil pencil

Out of the way we went, and then we found
What 'twas to tread upon forbidden ground;
And let them that come after have a care,
Lest heedlessness makes them, as we, to fare.
Lest they for trespassing his prisoners are,
Whose Castle's Doubting, and whose name's Despair.
--John Bunyan (1628-1688), in The Pilgrim’s Progress

"Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure."
--George E. Woodberry

And ye that wont with greedy vaine desire
To reade my fault, and wondring at my flame,
To warme your selues at my wide sparckling fire,
Sith now that heat is quenched, quench my blame,
And in her ashes shrowd my dying shame:
For who my passed follies now pursewes,
Beginnes his owne, and my old fault renewes.

--Edmund Spenser (1552-1599), from "An Hymne of Heavenly Love"
