The empires of the future are the empires of the mind - Winston Churchill, Harvard University, Sept 6, 1943
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events. - Winston Churchill
"My friends, silence will be more acceptable to me in the discussion of these questions than applause. I desire to address myself to your judgment, your understanding, and your consciences, and not to your passions or your enthusiasms." - Stephen Douglas when the crowd erupted in applause while he spoke during one of the Douglas/Lincoln Debates.

There is no offset for the loss of truth. There can only be a cover up of what has taken place. When our knowledge of God’s truth is diminished, our understanding of God is diminished, no amount of contrived mystery through ancient liturgies or gathering in the presence of dim, flickering candlelight can compensate for this loss. - David F. Wells, The Courage to Be Protestant, page 18
After years in the academy I have learned a trade secret: If you know enough about a subject you can confuse anybody by a selective use of the facts. Ravi Zacharias, The End of Reason, pg 38
