Some Thoughts

Here are a few quotes that I enjoyed reading...Hope you have a wonderful Thursday!
I got these quotes here.


America has never been an empire. We may be the only great power in history that had the chance, and refused – preferring greatness to power and justice to glory.
George W. Bush
 
 
It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.
George Washington
 
 
All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain degree.
James Madison
 
 
Democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honorable
form of government ever devised by man.
Ronald Reagan
 
 
It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.
James Madison

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Ronald Reagan


Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.
Ronald Reagan

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.
John F. Kennedy

Those are some wonderful thoughts for the day and the weekend of our country's birthday celebrations. If only we could share those thoughts once again with our government.....sigh.......
God is still in control! :)

Thanks for reminding us of these great thoughts. I'm sad about the multitude of people who don't even know or care what our great leaders have stood for. It just seems to be about "me, me, me." these days. I'm glad I know where my hope comes from. He doesn't change regardless of what happens in the US. I pray he'll help us.
