QUOTES OF THE WEEK

As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprize, and independance to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. - Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr [his nephew]

In those wretched countries where a man cannot call his tongue his own, he can scarcely call anything his own.... Whoever would overthrow the Liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech. - Benjamin Franklin

All God's giants have been weak men, who did great things for God because they reckoned on his being with them. - J. Hudson Taylor

Prayer will make a man cease from sin, as sin will entice a man to cease from prayer. - John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress

Abraham Lincoln said, "I am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards!" If you would go forward and not backward:

• pause at life's intersections;
• process your observations;
• probe for information;
• proceed in the right direction;
• profit from good decisions.

Then you will not be guilty of walking backward and rejecting the Lord. - J. Don Jennings
