Our Quotes From Famous People:
What Our Presidents Say About The Bible
"The Bible is the rock on which our Republic rests." (Andrew Jackson)
"To read the Bible. . . is a necessity of American life." (Herbert
Hoover)
"The Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good
from the Saviour of the world is communicated to us through this Book."
(Abraham Lincoln)
"No book has so molded the life of a nation at the Bible has shaped
America. It has been America’s hope, its foundation, its molder of
character. The Bible has sustained America throughout its 200-year
history and is our only hope of security for the years ahead. (Ronald
Reagan)

- THE BIBLE FRIEND)
Attitude
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitudes on life.
Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than
the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than
failures, then successes, than what other people think or say or do. It
is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or
break a company. . .a group. . . a home. The remarkable thing is that
we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for
that day. We cannot change our past. . .we cannot change the fact that
people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. I am
convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to
it. And so it is with you. . . we are in charge of our attitude.
(Chuck Swindoll)
I Am Only One
I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do
something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do
the something that I can do.
(E. E. Hale)
Splitting The Atom And The Family
"Satan, his demons and their human henchmen know that the fate of
mankind depends on the spiritual durability of family relationships. If
one splits the atom, the smallest unit of matter, tremendous physical
disaster results from the explosive forces released. And if one splits
the family, the smallest unit of society, tremendous social disaster
results from the explosive passions released."
(From The Anti-Christ by Fr. Vincent Macelli)
NBC Point Of View - ROE V. WADE
. . . But it was in the hour-long NBC news
special following the film (Roe v. Wade) that the NBC point of view was
stripped of whatever objective clothing remained. (On the Washington,
D. C. NBC affiliate, a local reporter covering pro-lifers as they
watched the movie referred to them as "so-called pro-lifers," while the
reporter covering the other side called them "pro-choice.")
With body language, smirks and interruptions, Tom Brokaw quickly
revealed his side. He frequently interrupted and lectured Republican
Rep. Christopher H. Smith of New Jersey and Olivia Gans of National
Right to Life, while allowing Planned Parenthood president Faye
Wattleton and author Anna Quindlen to make lengthy uninterrupted
responses to questions.
(From the editorial, A Subtle Verdict from NBC, May 22, 1989 by
Cal Thomas, Washington Times)
What Is More Glorious?
The most important person on earth is a mother. She
cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need
not. She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral - a
dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby’s body.
The angels have not been blessed with such a grace. They cannot share
in God’s creative miracle to bring new saints to heaven. Only a human
mother can. Mothers are closer to God the Creator than any other
creature. God joins forces with mothers in performing this act of
creation. . . What on God’s good earth is more glorious than this: to
be a mother?
(Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty)
In Vitro Fertilization - A Twin Of Contraception
Now with the contraceptive mentality so rampant, it is no surprise that
so many see nothing wrong with IN VITRO FERTILIZATION. The
contraceptive mentality proclaims one can enjoy sexual relations
without children. Analogously, IN VITRO FERTILIZATION, A TWIN OF
CONTRACEPTION, ASSERTS THAT ONE CAN ENJOY CHILDREN WITHOUT SEXUAL
RELATIONS, OR ANY KIND OF A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP.
(Sherman Andrew Orr, SEMINARIANS FOR LIFE INTERNATIONAL)
Even In Its Most Doubtful Form
The incarnation of Jesus Christ, the Word of God made man,
unmistakeably differentiated human life from everything that is and is
done in heaven and earth. This gives it even in its most doubtful
form the character of something singular, unique, unrepeatable and
irreplaceable. This decides that it is an advantage and something
worthwhile to be as man. This characterizes life as the incomparable
and non-recurrent opportunity to praise God.
(Paul Ramsey)
Abortion - An Outgrowth Of Contraception
Pro-lifers who work toward the day when we no longer kill
our unborn are only kidding themselves if they condone contraception.
After exchanging ideas with many persons staunchly engaged in the
abortion-euthanasia battle around the world, I am overwhelmingly
convinced that at least 97 percent of those who intelligently fight
abortion see it as an outgrowth of CONTRACEPTION.
(Fr. Paul Marx, O.S.B., Ph.D., Worldwide Pro-Life Missionary)
Pray For Power Equal To Your Tasks
"Do not pray for easy lives; pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for
tasks equal to your powers; pray for power equal to your tasks."
(Phillips Brooks)
Japan - The Fastest Aging Nation In The World
In 1948 the Japanese relaxed abortion restrictions in what was called
the "Eugenics Protection Act." That law turned out to be a terrible
tragedy, since the Japanese family now averages only 1.4 children, as I
have said. Importing guest-workers, as Europe and the U. S. do, is
difficult because of language problems. Besides, the Japanese do not
appreciate foreigners unless they are tourists who leave their money as
they depart. Nor has the desperate government had any success in
inducing Japanese women to have children in population-replacement
numbers, now that they are working outside the home and well-enough off
to travel all over the world!. . .Today it is THE FASTEST-AGING NATION
IN THE WORLD. And if it cannot remedy its disastrous decline in the
birthrate, it is doomed to extinction.
(From FAITHFUL FOR LIFE, autobiography of FATHER PAUL MARX, OSB
- Page 242)
"Urge Me Not To Use Moderation"
"I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is
there no cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth and as
uncompromising as justice. On this subject I do not wish to speak or
think or write with moderation. NO! NO! Tell a man whose house is on
fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife
from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate
her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; but URGE ME NOT TO USE
MODERATION in a cause like the present."
(WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON, Leader of AMERICAN SLAVERY ABOLITION
MOVEMENT, 1850)
The Good Samaritan Fulfills His Duty
"We have become a
consensocracy, whose decisions, mysteriously reached have the force of
law even before they are enacted. In this case, that the burden and
expense of caring for the old and the infirm, the disabled and the
mentally sick, need not be undertaken much longer. They will all
beautifully disappear. Under this dispensation, the Good Samaritan
fulfills his duty by administering a lethal sedative, thereby saving
the injured traveler, the innkeeper and himself from further trouble
and expense without incommoding any passing Levite."
