The loud earth breathless! - Take away the sword -
States can be saved without it! — Edward Bulwer-Lytton

It is only the infinite mercy and love of God that has prevented us from tearing ourselves to pieces and destroying His entire creation long ago. People seem to think that it is in some way a proof that no merciful God exists, if we have so many wars.

How could all this be possible without the merciful love of God, pouring out His grace upon us?

Every morning I'd have coffee with my wife and we would discuss ideas. Sixty percent of what I did for the stores was concepts.

Most of my concepts were so finished they could turn them over to somebody else. — Mike Royer

Know, Nature's children all divide her care; The fur that warms a monarch, warmed a bear. While man exclaims, "See all things for my use!" "See man for mine!" replies a pampered goose: And just as short of reason he must fall, Who thinks all made for one, not one for all. — Alexander Pope

Moving forward only because backward wasn't possible. — Amy Bloom
