    Peggy Noonan
    “Do not be afriad! I can see that Americans are not afraid. They are not afraid of the sun, they are not afraid of the wind, they are not afraid of 'today'. They are, generally speaking, brave, good people. And so I say to you today, always be brave. Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid. God is with you. Do not be afraid to search for God-then you will truly be the land of the free, the home of the brave. God Bless America.”
    Peggy Noonan, John Paul the Great: Remembering a Spiritual Father

  • #17
    Peggy Noonan
    “Each of us struggles through primary and essential questions that we cannot avoid once we reach or approach maturity. Why was I born? What is the meaning of life, and its purpose? Where and how can I find happiness? Why is life so full of pain and difficulty? How should we live, by what model or principles or arrangements?
    A great mystery embraces our lives, John Paul said. Then he added something that has been to me deeply inspiring:
    These questions we ask do not come only from your restless mind, and are not just products of your very human anxiety. They come from God. They are the beginning of the process by which you find them. God prompts them. He made you ask.
    The questions are, in fact, a kind of preparation for God, a necessary preamble to the story he wants to write on your heart. And the moment you ask them, your freedom has been set in motion. You become more sharply aware that there are choices.
    This, in a way, is the beginning of morality, because there is no morality without freedom. Only in freedom can you turn toward what is good. (p. 127)”
    Peggy Noonan

    Idowu Koyenikan
    “Most people write me off when they see me.
    They do not know my story.
    They say I am just an African.
    They judge me before they get to know me.
    What they do not know is
    The pride I have in the blood that runs through my veins;
    The pride I have in my rich culture and the history of my people;
    The pride I have in my strong family ties and the deep connection to my community;
    The pride I have in the African music, African art, and African dance;
    The pride I have in my name and the meaning behind it.
    Just as my name has meaning, I too will live my life with meaning.
    So you think I am nothing?
    Don’t worry about what I am now,
    For what I will be, I am gradually becoming.
    I will raise my head high wherever I go
    Because of my African pride,
    And nobody will take that away from me.”
    idowu koyenikan, Wealth for all Africans: How Every African Can Live the Life of Their Dreams

    James Baldwin
    “The Constitution gives you the right, as a white man, to have a rifle in your home. The Constitution gives you the right to protect yourself. Why is it ‘ominous’ when black people even talk of having rifles? Why don’t we have the right to self-defense? Is it because maybe you know we’re going to have to defend ourselves against you?”
    James Baldwin, One Day When I Was Lost

  • #20
    E.A. Bucchianeri
    “There are times when wisdom cannot be found in the chambers of parliament or the halls of academia but at the unpretentious setting of the kitchen table.”
    E.A. Bucchianeri

  • #21
    “I wish I could show you the little village where I was born. It's so lovely there...I used to think it too small to spend a life in, but now I'm not so sure.”

  • #22
    Richard Chenevix Trench
    “I travel back to Shakespeare, to Spenser, to Gascoigne, to Hawes, to Chaucer, Wiclif, and at length to Piers Ploughman, Robert of Gloucester, or whatever other work is taken as the earliest in our tongue. It is quite impossible with any consistency to make a stand anywhere, or to admit any words now obsolete without including, or at least attempting to include all.”
    Richard Chenevix Trench, On Some Deficiencies in Our English Dictionaries

  • #23
    Richard Chenevix Trench
    “A good ship is never tested in calm waters.”
    Richard Trench

  • #24
    Richard Chenevix Trench
    “Language is the amber in which a thousand precious and subtle thoughts have been safely embedded and preserved.”
    Richard C. Trench

  • #25
    “Let it be remarked that Mary Magdalene sought Jesus more fervently and continued more affectionately attached to him than any of the rest; therefore, to her first, Jesus is pleased to show himself, and she is made the first herald of the Gospel of a risen Savior.”
    Adam Clarke

  • #26
    “Pride works frequently under a dense mask, and will often assume the garb of humility.”
    Adam Clarke

  • #27

  • #29

    Deitrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

  • #30
    Dietrich Bonhoeffer
    “Jesus himself did not try to convert the two thieves on the cross; he waited until one of them turned to him.”
    Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison

  • #31
    “One of the greatest ways you can affirm value in another person is by giving them the gift of your undivided attention, the kind of attention that says, “I hear what you are saying because I value who you are.” You don’t have to agree with someone to show them their value as a person. Listening demonstrates that any person you meet is worthy of your respect and attention.”
    Joe Jordan, Sharpen Your Life: 52 Strategic Moments to Create a Lifetime of Success

  • #32
    Ravi Zacharias
    “Truth by definition excludes.”
