"Truth is not only violated by falsehood; it may be equally outraged by
silence."
(Amien)
PERSISTENCE
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men of talent. Genius
will not. . . the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and
determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "PRESS ON" has solved
and always will solve the problems of the human race."
(Calvin Coolidge)
MORAL DECAY
"History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to
moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline."
(General Douglas MacArthur)
TWO GREAT VIRTUES
Human nature grows tired of always doing the same thing, and it is
God’s will that this should be so because of the opportunity of
practicing two great virtues. The first is PERSEVERANCE, which will
bring us to our goal. The other is STEADFASTNESS, which overcomes the
difficulties on the way.
(St. Vincent de Paul)
ROE V. WADE OPENS EUTHANASIA DOOR
Leading euthanasia proponent Derek Humphrey (Hemlock Society) bragged
during a debate with AUL President Edward R. Grant that "ROE V. WADE
OPENED THE DOOR FOR LEGALIZED EUTHANASIA IN THIS COUNTRY, AND I’M PROUD
OF IT."
(From LIFE DOCKET, Americans United for Life Newsletter - June/July
1988)
ABIDING BY BIBLE PRINCIPLES
"If we abide by the principles in the Bible, our country will go on
prospering; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and
authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us
and bury all our glory in profound obscurity."
(Daniel Webster)
PRAY WITHOUT TIRING
"We must pray without tiring, for the salvation of mankind does not
depend on material success; not on sciences that cloud the intellect.
Neither does it depend on arms and human industries, but on Jesus
alone."
(St. Frances Xavier Cabrini)
ABORTION FOR THE POOR
"The poor cry out for Justice and Equality and we respond with
legalized abortion."
(Al Newharth, Founder of USA TODAY - January 10, 1993, USA TODAY)
NO GROWTH FOR N.O.W.
"NOW admits it has had no growth in 20 years. It now is no more than a
frenetic fringe organization kept alive by media hype...Many mainstream
women...consider any association with NOW bad baggage."
(Al Newharth, Founder of USA TODAY - January 10, 1993, USA TODAY)
SPIRITUAL POVERTY
Mother Teresa said that the greatest poverty in the world is in the
United States - spiritual poverty. "In the United States people are so
poor that they abort their children so they can afford a fine home and
a vacation."
KILLED IN AN ABORTUARY
"Somewhere in recent readings I came across a poignant response to a
militant homosexual who was demanding to know why the government has
not yet come up with a cure for AIDS. It was: ‘the genius who could
have solved the problem was probably killed in an abortuary.’"
(John F. McManus, The Birch Log, 1993)
"THEY WILL ACCEPT THE LETHAL INJECTION"
"If we can get people to accept the removal of all treatment and
care...especially the removal of food and fluids, they will see what a
painful way this is to die, and then, in the patient’s best interest,
they will accept the ‘lethal injection.’"
(Helga Kuhse P.H.S.. Deputy Director of the Centre for Human Bioethics
at Monash U. in Melbourne, Australia)
GLORIA SWANSON'S REGRET
Gloria Swanson, a movie star of the silent screen, wrote in her
autobiography: "NOTHING IN THE WHOLE WORLD IS WORTH A BABY. I REALIZED
THAT TOO LATE, AND I NEVER STOPPED BLAMING MYSELF."
GERMAN PROVERB
When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is
lost; when character is lost, all is lost.
(German Proverb)
MAINSTREAM WILL NOT DO
If, as the Americans United for Life poll shows, 54 percent of
Americans think that pro-lifers are extremists, then everyone in the
pro-life movement should pat himself or herself on the back. If the
unborn are to have any chance of obtaining their rights, they are going
to need extremists fighting on their behalf. "Mainstream" will not do,
especially when one considers the arsenal of talent and money that the
pro-abortionists have at their disposal. Only an extreme effort will
keep the plight of the unborn before Americans' eyes. . . Can
pro-lifers be anything less than extreme?
(N.W. Indiana Catholic 3/10/91)
"WE'RE HAVING CHILDREN"
"WE'RE HAVING CHILDREN. . . THE PRO-ABORTION PEOPLE ARE KILLING ALL OF
THEIRS. WE'RE GOING TO OUTNUMBER THEM ONE OF THESE DAYS. JUST GIVE US A
LITTLE TIME."
(Paul Bruch, Connecticut RTL)
THE GREATEST THING OF ALL
The greatest thing is, not that one shall become a scientist, as great
as that is; nor that one shall be a statesman, vastly important as that
is; nor even that one shall be a theologian, immeasurably important as
that is; but the greatest thing of all is for one human being to bring
another to Christ Jesus, the Savior.
(Ligman Beecher)
PEACE
First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace to
others.
(Thomas A Kempis)
YOUR CONVERSATION
For good or ill, your conversation is your advertisement. Every time
you open your mouth, you let me look into your mind.
(Bruce Barton)
THE ART OF TAXATION
"The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the
largest possible amount of feathers with the smallest possible amount
of hissing."
(Jean Baptiste Colbert, attributed, circa 1665)
BIRTH CONTROL PILLS CAUSE "AGING" OF A WOMAN’S UTERUS
A general rule of thumb is that for every year a woman
takes the pill, her uterus ages two years. Women, especially young
women under the age of 25, taking the pill have a considerably higher
rate of cancer, especially breast and cervical cancers, than women who
don’t take the pill. INCREASED RATES OF VASCULAR DISEASES, CANCERS AND
DIABETES ALL SUGGEST THAT OUR SELF-RADIATION WITH BIRTH CONTROL
CHEMICALS IS CAUSING AN OVERALL LIFE SHORTENING. Fibromyalgia, a "new"
disease identified in 1976, thirteen years after the pill was
introduced, manifests itself by causing many "old-age" symptoms such as
chronic pain, rheumatism, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome.
FIBROMYALGIA OCCURS ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY IN WOMEN WHO HAVE TAKEN THE
PILL."

I AM DISTINCTIVELY MALE
I am distinctively male, and it has been proposed to me that I should
keep my mouth shut with respects to abortion because of this. I have
been told that since I am a man, I cannot have a say in an issue that
only concerns women. IS THAT SO?
Did you know that studies show that 88% of abortions were forced by a
male who pressures to avoid the responsibility of a child? (source
Fredericka Matthews-Green, Real Choices). This is true, whether it is a
teacher, a doctor, but more likely a father or a partner, the woman is
usually NOT the one that makes the "choice." This is an issue that
concerns males just as much as females; the individuals who become
terminated are of both genders after all, not to mention they are the
children of a man and a woman.

EXCERPTS FROM COURAGE - YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES
(Christopher News Notes, 12 E. 48th St., New York, N. Y. 10017 -
February 1992)
Robert Louis Stevenson wrote such classic adventure tales as Kidnapped
and Treasure Island. In his spare time he enjoyed canoeing,
sailing, hiking and travel. But it is not widely known that he suffered
through years of illness, including tuberculosis, before he died at age
44 following a stroke. He spoke of waking up sick and retiring weary,
for many years. Daily living itself had become an act of bravery. "YET
THE BATTLE STILL GOES ON" I WAS MADE FOR A CONTEST, AND THE
POWERS-THAT-BE HAVE WILLED THAT MY BATTLEFIELD SHALL BE THE INGLORIOUS
ONE OF THE BED AND THE MEDICINE BOTTLE.". . . For each of us, courage
means finding the spiritual and mental determination to bear
discomfort, to persevere despite danger or difficulty. "YOU GAIN
STRENGTH, COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE BY EVERY EXPERIENCE IN WHICH YOU
REALLY STOP TO LOOK FEAR IN THE FACE," said Eleanor Roosevelt. "YOU
MUST DO THE THING YOU CANNOT DO." Rosina Hernandez watched in horror as
a car spun out of control and plunged into Miami’s Biscayne Bay. She
dove in, swam to the car, and began a rescue effort that would save a
trapped man. Rosina’s courage had its roots in an incident ten years
before: As a college student at a concert, she saw one young man
brutally beat another while no on intervened. Later, she learned the
victim had died. The future social worker promised herself she would
never again stand by and do nothing if by acting she might save a life.
She kept her word. . .
Making A Poor Man Rich
"I remember a great man coming into my house, at Waltham, and seeing
all my children standing in the order of their age and stature, said:
‘These are they that make rich men poor." But he straight received this
answer: "Nay, my lord, these are they that make a poor man rich; for
there is not one of these whom we would part with for all your wealth."
(Joseph Hall, 1574-1656)
How Abortion Hurts Men
Pro-lifers have long maintained that many suffer from the abortion
choice. While the mother and her unborn child are obvious victims,
surveys increasingly document the effect on men . . .Of 1050 men
interviewed by the Los Angeles Times, two-thirds of those who
acknowledged having fathered an aborted child said they felt guilty
about it, and one-third had feelings of regret. These rates surpassed
those found among post-abortive women. Because the law systematically
excludes a man from his wife’s (or partner’s) decision to abort, women
only consult their child’s father 43 percent of the time. Sociologists
warn that men who aren’t encouraged to mourn over an abortion are
learning how to be even less involved as nurturing parents in the
future.
"The poor cry out for Justice and Equality and we respond with
legalized abortion."
"If we can get people to accept the removal of all treatment and
care...especially the removal of food and fluids, they will see what a
painful way this is to die, and then, in the patient’s best interest,
they will accept the ‘lethal injection.’" 
A general rule of thumb is that for every year a woman
takes the pill, her uterus ages two years. Women, especially young
women under the age of 25, taking the pill have a considerably higher
rate of cancer, especially breast and cervical cancers, than women who
