A poignant quote

Post by wvfarrier »

I read this Eleanor Roosevelt quote today and it really struck me.
"Lest I continue in my complacent way, Help me to remember that somewhere out there, a soldier died for me today. As long as there be war, I then must ask and answer: Am I worth dying for?".

That, my friend, is a sobering thought. May we all strive to be...

"I am a Christian and I speak to Christians—I am a good Christian and speak to good Christians. I love and venerate the religion of Christ because Christ came into the world to deliver humanity from slavery for which God has not created it."

Here is another good one from Guiseppe

"I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor provisions; I offer hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Let him who loves his country in his heart, and not with his lips only, follow me." 
A bondservant of our Lord, Christ Jesus
