Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.No other theory is adequate to explain or comprehend the Declaration of Independence. It is the product of the spiritual insight of the people. We live in an age of science and of abounding accumulation of material things. These did not create our Declaration. Our Declaration created them. The things of the spirit come first. Unless we cling to that, all our material prosperity, overwhelming though it may appear, will turn to a barren sceptre in our grasp. If we are to maintain the great heritage which has been bequeathed to us, we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it. We must not sink into a pagan materialism. We must cultivate the reverence which they had for the things that are holy. We must follow the spiritual and moral leadership which they showed. We must keep replenished, that they may glow with a more compelling flame, the altar fires before which they worshiped.~ Calvin CoolidgeA man has to live with himself, and he should see to it that he always has good company.~ Justice Charles Evans Hughes Apr 23, 2025The whole freedom of man consists either in spiritual or civil liberty.~ John MiltonIn every declining civilization there is a small "remnant" of people who adhere to the right against the wrong; who recognize the difference between good and evil and who will take an active stand for the former and against the latter; who can still think and discern and who will courageously take a stand against the political, social, moral, and spiritual rot or decay of their day.~ Donald S.

When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious.~ Lyle H. Rossiter, Jr. Apr 21, 2025The First Amendment does not require students to leave their religion at the schoolhouse door. … If students can wear T-shirts advertising sports teams, rock groups or politicians, they can also wear T-shirts that promote religion. … Religion is too important to our history and our heritage for us to keep it out of our schools.~ Bill ClintonIf it would be wrong for the government to adopt an official religion, then, for the same reasons, it would be wrong for the government to adopt official education policies. The moral case for freedom of religion stands or falls with that for freedom of education. A society that champions freedom of religion but at the same time countenances state regulation of education has a great deal of explaining to do.~ James R. OttesonIf a State refused to let religious groups use facilities open to others, then it would demonstrate not neutrality but hostility toward religion. The Establishment Clause does not license government to treat religion and those who teach or practice it … as subversive of American ideals.~ US Supreme Court Apr 18, 2025In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.~ Eric HofferThe best of all government is that which teaches us to govern ourselves.~ Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThe knowledge of the world is only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.~ Philip Dormer Stanhope Previous week's quotes Next week's quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
