There has been nothing like this spontaneous outbreak democracy in any army English or continental before the year 1647, nor was there anything like it thereafter till the Workers’ and Soldiers’ Councils met in 1917 in Russia. - D Brailsford, Sport and Society, pp. 181, 410-12 QUOTED IN C HILL, THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN p. 63
Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount.-Clare Boothe Luce (1903-1987) _Reader's Digest_ [May 1979], "Quotable Quotes"
“God’s word is like throwing open a window of bright morning sunshine on the roaches of sin masquerading as satisfying pleasures.”- Desiring God @desiringGod
...courage is not simply _one_ of the virtues, but the form of every
virtue at its testing point, which means, at the point of highest
reality. A chastity or honesty, or mercy, which yields to danger will
be chaste or modest or merciful only on conditions. Pilate was merciful
till it became risky.- C. S. Lewis, _The Screwtape Letters_, 29
Know what Freud wrote in his diary when he was 77? "What do women want? My God, what do they want?"
