“What is important for a leader is that which makes him a leader. It is the needs of his people.”
Frank Herbert

“A nation ringed by walls will only imprison itself.”

“How good is it to remember one's insignificance: that of a man among billions of men, of an animal amid billions of animals; and one's abode, the earth, a little grain of sand in comparison with Sirius and others, and one's life span in comparison with billions on billions of ages. There is only one significance, you are a worker. The assignment is inscribed in your reason and heart and expressed clearly and comprehensibly by the best among the beings similar to you. The reward for doing the assignment is immediately within you. But what the significance of the assignment is or of its completion, that you are not given to know, nor do you need to know it. It is good enough as it is. What else could you desire?”
Leo Tolstoy

Billy Graham

Ben Carson

“And he writhed inside at what seemed the cruelty and unfairness of the demand. He had not yet learned that if you do one good deed your reward usually is to do another and harder and better one.”
C.S. Lewis

“Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality. Something cannot emerge from nothing.”
Frank Herbert

Barack Obama

Ronald Reagan

“In God there is no hunger that needs to be filled, only plenteousness that desires to give.”
C.S. Lewis

“We are forced to fall back on fatalism as an explanation of irrational events (that is to say, events the reasonableness of which we do not understand).”
