Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is
acknowledged.
Ronald Reagan
And we must think no further of you.
T. S. EliotMy gaze on Beatrice, hers on Heaven,
In less time than an arrow strikes the mark,
Flies through the air, loosed from its catch, I found
myself in some place where a wondrous thing.
Absorbed all of my mind, and then my lady,
From whom I could not keep my thirst to know,
turned toward me as joyful as her beauty:
Direct your mind and gratitude, she said,
To God, who raised us up to His first star.
-Dante, The Divine Comedy: ParadiseTruth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies. --R. W. Emerson
