“Americans are a people of commerce. We are good at business. Freedom and capitalism have made the United States the greatest economic power on earth. The conviction that anyone, with hard work, can make a better life for himself is an American article of faith. Abraham Lincoln identified the vitality of this commercial republic in 1856 when he said, “The man who labored for another last year, this year labors for himself, and next year he will hire others to labor for him.”

“We Americans are so good at critiquing our own nation, so determined to make it better, that sometimes we neglect to acknowledge all that is wonderful about it. Let us not commit the sin of ingratitude for so many blessings.”
― William J. Bennett, The American Patriot's Almanac: Daily Readings on America

“The day Americans stop viewing explicit patriotism as a virtue and begin to view it as something “eccentric and foolish” is the day we cease to be a great country.”

“Our blessed Jesus, as God, is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent. Will it not console you to know that all these great and glorious attributes are altogether yours? Has He power? That power is yours to support and strengthen you, to overcome your enemies, and to preserve you even to the end. Has He love? Well, there is not a drop of love in His heart that is not yours; you may dive into the immense ocean of His love, and you may say of it all, “It is mine.” Has He justice? It may seem a stern attribute, but even that is yours, for He will by His justice see to it that all that is promised to you in the covenant of grace shall be most certainly secured to you.”
