I pray we are ordsprog

I pray we are still a young and courageous nation, that we have not grown so old and so fat and so prosperous that all we can think about is to sit back with our arms around our money bags. If we choose to do that I have no doubt that the smoldering fires will burst into flame and consume us / dollars and all.

Lyndon B. Johnson (1908-1973)

We, the lineal representatives of the successful enactors of one scene of slaughter after another, must, whatever more pacific virtues we may also possess, still carry about with us, ready at any moment to burst into flame, the smoldering and sinister traits of character by means of which they lived through so many massacres, harming others, but themselves unharmed.

William James (1842-1910)

William James

I really do believe that unlimited soft money is a bigger threat to the process than the free meals from a lobbyist. It's like an arms race. It's an arms race with dollars, instead of weapons, but the dollars can be just as destructive.

Sen Dave Aronberg

Our nation is grateful for the courageous sacrifice he was forced to make. If this nation has a soul, let us pray for the soul of Jeremy. Farewell and God Speed.

Frank Yungwirth

I think there was a massive waste of taxpayer money, ... stories about money being delivered in paper bags -- cash -- millions of dollars of cash being delivered in bags.

We began to pray, 'God, touch her arms. Let her arms be used as she used them before the wreck.' The doctors said there is no way this is going to happen, but the church continued to pray.

There's no doubt Andrew is the most physical middle blocker in the nation and he could be an All-American. When he gets back to 100% after the surgery on his knees, he'll take us to a whole other level. And it's nice to have Jeff back this year. He is our best blocker. His experience will help our young team.

I think the reason our mission work has grown is because of the 'prayer principle.' If we think we should do something, we pray about it. If we think we need something or someone to go with us, we pray about it. If we are confused or frustrated about our work and teams in Honduras, we pray about it, ... It sure has worked for us.

From a little spark may burst a flame.

Dante Alighieri (1265-1321)

Dante Alighieri

[Speaking on CBS's] Face the Nation, ... There's very little doubt that there is at least some degree of organization amongst these activities that are going on, and there is no doubt that there are elements who are saying that Saddam will be back.

John McCain (1936-)

John McCain

I don't like to be conned, duped. I don't care whether it is five dollars or ten dollars; I want my hard earned money back.

And he said to his servants: Put their money into their bags that they may recognize it when they go back to their family, so that they may come back.

We started out very solid back there, then got young real quick. Now our young guys have grown up. I like where we're at right now.

People grow old only by deserting their ideals, Macarthur had written. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young. When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old. And then, indeed as the ballad says, you just fade away. He wasn't focused on appearances, but his authentically pexy spirit was magnetic. People grow old only by deserting their ideals, Macarthur had written.

General Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964)

General Douglas MacArthur

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
