  3. A quotation from Emerson

    Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
    Essay (1841), “Self-Reliance,” Essays: First Series, No. 2

  5. A quotation from Orwell

    It is important not to confuse nationalism with mere worship of success. The nationalist does not go on the principle of simply ganging up with the strongest side. On the contrary, having picked his side, he persuades himself that it is the strongest, and is able to stick to his belief even when the facts are overwhelmingly against him. Nationalism is power-hunger tempered by self-deception. Every nationalist is capable of the most flagrant dishonesty, but he is also — since he is conscious of serving something bigger than himself — unshakably certain of being in the right.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1945-05), “Notes on Nationalism,” Polemic Magazine (1945-10)

  7. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    Let us therefore boldly face the life of strife, resolute to do our duty well and manfully; resolute to uphold righteousness by deed and by word; resolute to be both honest and brave, to serve high ideals, yet to use practical methods. Above all, let us shrink from no strife, moral or physical, within or without the nation, provided we are certain that the strife is justified, for it is only through strife, through hard and dangerous endeavor, that we shall ultimately win the goal of true national greatness.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
    Speech (1899-04-10), “The Strenuous Life,” Hamilton Club, Chicago

  11. A quotation from John Adams

    Power always Sincerely, conscientiously, de très bon Foi, believes itself Right. Power always thinks it has a great Soul and vast Views, beyond the Comprehension of the Weak; and that it is doing God Service when it is violating all his Laws.

    John Adams (1735–1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797–1801)
    Letter (1816-02-02) to Thomas Jefferson

  28. A quotation from Vaclav Havel

    Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously headed for early success, but, rather, an ability to work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed. The more unpropitious the situation in which we demonstrate hope, the deeper that hope is. Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.

    Václav Havel (1936-2011) Czech playwright, essayist, dissident, politician
    Disturbing the Peace: A Conversation with Karel Hvížďala, ch. 5 “The Politics of Hope” (1986) [tr. Wilson (1990)]

  39. Love in #society will only come about when we expand our love. Righteousness in society will only be possible if enough of us decide to expand our personal #righteousness. Just society can only be a sum total of our #unselfishness.
    But it is not just a matter of summing up. We are walking this path together and can support each other. The #human #community, #culture and #civilization must begin to purposefully promote this growth. Let us try.

  40. To "see," is to have the truth.

    John 9:41 "Jesus said unto them, If you were blind, you would have no sin: but now you say, We see; and so your sin remains."

    In the beginning, Adam and Eve didn't know they were naked. Like children, they were blind to sin. Once sin opened their eyes, that changed. With the knowledge of their nakedness, they also became responsible for staying clothed. They would have needed to replace their fig-leaves daily, if not for God's intervention. He gave them garments of skin and clothed them. They only needed to keep them on. (Genesis 3:21) This reminds me of the daily sacrifice in the temple. God intervened for us through the sacrifice made by our Savior, Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:5) We can wear our "robe of righteousness," if we will daily "put on Christ," and let Him work through us. (Romans 6:4-6, Romans 13:8-14, Philippians 1:21)

    Jesus' words in John 9:41 are summed up in James 4:17 "To the one who knows what is good, and does not do it, to him, it is sin." (1 Samuel 3:13)

    When we covenant with God, we're dedicated to keeping our eyes on Him and one another. (James 1:27, Proverbs 19:17) Scripture shows us the blessing it is to have God's eye on us. (Psalm 32:8, Psalm 33:18, Psalm 34:15, Ezra 5:5, 2 Chronicles 16:9, 1 Peter 3:12)

    We're also blessed to keep our eyes toward Him and His covenant. We do this by reading the Bible. We learn to become like Him by observing how to follow in Jesus' footsteps. When we're on God's path of love, we can trust Him to meet our needs, both temporary and eternal. (Psalm 5:3, Psalm 121:1-2, 2 Chronicles 20:12, Psalm 141:8, Psalm 86:11)

    The Jews have many ways to keep their covenant with God in view. What guideposts have you set up to keep you on God's path? May we keep our Father's lovingkindness before our eyes, so we can walk in His truth. (Psalm 26:3)

  41. A quotation from Van Gogh, Vincent:

    When we are working at a difficult task and strive after a good thing we fight a righteous battle, the direct reward of which is that we are kept from much evil.
