Joseph Sullivan

“Ho, Ho, Sir Surgeon. You are too delicate to tell the man that he is ill. You hope to heal the sick without their knowing it. You therefore flatter them. And what happens? They laugh at you. They dance upon their own graves and at last they die. Your delicacy is cruelty, your flatteries are poisons you are a murderer. Shall we keep men in a fool's paradise? Shall we lull them into soft slumber from which they will awake in hell? Are we to become helpers of their damnation by our smooth speeches? In the name of God we will not.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon

“He conquers twice, who shows mercy to the conquered.”
― Julius Caesar

“The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.”

“There is nothing constant in the universe. All ebb and flow, and every shape that's born, bears in its womb the seeds of change.”
