Facts mean nothing unless they are rightly understood, rightly related and rightly interpreted.

We spend months inside them, then the rest of our lives getting babied by them.

If the Bible had said that Jonah swallowed the whale, I would believe it.

In commemoration of the fact that France was our ally in securing independence the citizens of that nation joined with the citizens of the United States in placing in New York harbor an heroic statue representing Liberty enlightening the world.

The Bible holds up before us ideals that are within sight of the weakest and the lowliest, and yet so high that the best and the noblest are kept with their faces turned ever upward. It carries the call of the Saviour to the remotest corners of the earth; on its pages are written the assurances of the present and our hopes for the future

Patriotism is a mystery-intangible, invisible, and yet eternal.
