Book cover for This Independent Republic
History is in part not only a long struggle for the minds, bodies, and properties of men, with various movements seeking control of historical processes in terms of their faith, but it is also a battle with respect to language.
Josiah Bates
He also says that "Men fail to understand one another not only when they speak alien tongues, but also when they use the same words with very diverse meanings." This very much reminds me of Dr. Branch's lecture on Transgenderism at Ratio Christi (on April 9th, 2024)

“I'd like you to know that I've forgiven him. Again and again. Once done, of course, back comes the Enemy to persecute and prosecute, and I must ante up to God and forgive yet again.”
Jan Karon, Home to Holly Springs

Robert Lewis Dabney
“A truth is not necessary, because we negatively are not able to conceive the actual existence of the opposite thereof;but a truth is necessary when we positively are able to apprehend that the negation thereof includes an inevitable contradiction. It is not that that we can see how the opposite comes to be true, but it is that the opposite can not possibly be true.”
R.L. Dabney

Robert Lewis Dabney
“The moral judgments and acts of the soul all involve an exercise of reason, so that it is impossible to separate the ethical and intellectual functions.”
Robert Lewis Dabney

Jan Karon
“As long as you have any floor space at all, you have room for books! Just make two stacks of books the same height, place them three or four feet apart, lay a board across them, and repeat. Voila! Bookshelves!”
Jan Karon
