Thought for Today

"America's present need is not heroics but healing; not nostrums but normalcy; not revolution but restoration."

~~~~~ Warren G. Harding

Thought for Today

"I have only one yardstick by which I test every major problem – and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?"

~~~~~ President Dwight D. Eisenhower

Thought for Today

"I report to you that our country is challenged at home and abroad: that it is our will that is being tried and not our strength; our sense of purpose and not our ability to achieve a better America."

~~~~~ Lyndon B. Johnson

Thought for Today

"No section of the American populace has been more completely deceived by the forces interested in keeping the truth from the people than America's youth."

~~~~~ Francis Parker Yockey

Thought for Today

"America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father's role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts – a child – as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters. And, in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign."

~~~~~ Mother Teresa

Thought for Today

"In America nobody says you have to keep the circumstances somebody else gives you."

~~~~~ Amy Tan

Thought for Today

"What other nations call religious toleration, we call religious rights. They are not exercised in virtue of governmental indulgence, but as rights, of which government cannot deprive any portion of citizens, however small."

~~~~~ Richard Mentor Johnson

Thought for Today

"There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure."

~~~~~ Dwight D. Eisenhower

Thought for Today

"Strong, generous, and confident, she has nobly served mankind. Beware how you trifle with your marvellous inheritance, this great land of ordered liberty, for if we stumble and fall freedom and civilization everywhere will go down in ruin."

~~~~~ Henry Cabot Lodge

Thought for Today

"America is hungry for people who believe in something."

~~~~~ Henry Hyde

Thought for Today

"Publicity is a great purifier because it sets in action the forces of public opinion, and in this country public opinion controls the courses of the nation."

~~~~~ Charles Evans Hughes

Thought for Today

"I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within."

~~~~~ Douglas MacArthur

Thought for Today

"There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure."

~~~~~ Dwight D. Eisenhower

Thought for Today

"Let's all understand that these guiding principles cannot be discarded for short-term political gains. They represent what this country is all about. They are indigenous to the American idea. And these are principles which are not negotiable."

~~~~~ Barbara Jordan

Thought for Today

"The United States is a giant island of freedom, achievement, wealth and prosperity in a world hostile to our values."

~~~~~ Phyllis Schlafly

Thought for Today

"The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults."

~~~~~ Alexis de Tocqueville

Thought for Today

"The Supreme Court's only armor is the cloak of public trust; its sole ammunition, the collective hopes of our society."

~~~~~ Judge Irving R. Kaufman

Thought for Today

"I never thought I'd live to see the day that an American administration would denounce the state of Israel for rebuilding Jerusalem."

~~~~~ Mike Pence

Thought for Today

"Our constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens."

~~~~~ John Marshall Harlan
