I tell the truth; listen everyone. Only those who have Loved, will realise the Lord
Guru Gobind SinghRead
Karta (The Creator) and Karim (The beneficient) are the names of the same God. _x000D_ Razak (The provider) and Rahim (The merciful) are also the names given to Him. _x000D_ Let no man in his error wrangle over differences in names. _x000D_ Worship the One God who is the Lord of all. Know that his form is one and He is the One light diffused in all.

The years ahead will be great ones for our country, for the cause of freedom and the spread of civilization. The West will not contain Communism, it will transcend Communism. We will not bother to denounce it, we'll dismiss it as a sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages are even now being written.

Tis strange,-but true; for truth is always strange; Stranger than fiction: if it could be told, How much would novels gain by the exchange! How differently the world would men behold!
Lord ByronRead
We want to be saved from our misery, but not from our sin. We want to sin without misery, just as the prodigal son wanted inheritance without the father. The foremost spiritual law of the physical universe is that this hope can never be realized. Sin always accompanies misery. There is no victimless crime, and all creation is subject to decay because of humanity’s rebellion from God.
