How do I know pornography depraves and corrupts?It depraves and corrupts me. - Malcolm Muggeridge (@malmuggeridge)
Islam is conquering via the cradle.- John Jefferson
But, if the dark hour does not vanish, as sometimes it doesn't, if the black cloud will not lift, as sometimes it will not, let me tell you again for your comfort that there are many liars in the world, but there are no liars like our own sensations. The despair and the horror mean nothing, because there is for you nothing irremediable, nothing ineffaceable, nothing irrecoverable in anything you may have said or thought or done. If, for any reason, you cannot believe or have not been taught to believe in the infinite mercy of Heaven, which has made us all, and will take care we do not go far astray, at least believe that you are not yet sufficiently important to be taken too
seriously by the Powers above us or beneath us. In other words, take everything you like seriously, except yourself. -Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), "Values in Life", _A Book of Words_ (1928), a volume of Kipling's collected speeches. Speech originally delivered in the fall of 1907 to the students at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
Yesterday we fought a great battle and gained a great victory, for which all the glory is due to God alone. Although under a heavy fire for several continuous hours I received only one wound, the breaking of the longest finger of my left hand; but the doctor says the finger may be saved. . . . Your coat got an ugly wound near the hip, but my
servant, who is very handy, has so far repaired it that it doesn't show very much. My preservation was entirely due, as was the glorious victory, to our God, to whom be all
the honor, praise, and glory. -Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson (1824-1863) (In a letter to his wife after the First Battle of Bull Run; July 22, 1861)
