Witchfinder General Matthew Quotes & Sayings

Our American past always speaks to us with two voices: the voice of the past, and the voice of the present. We are always asking two quite different questions.

Historians are trained to seek the original meaning; all of us want to know the present meaning. — Daniel J. Boorstin

Just as dirt is matter in the wrong place, so sin is flesh in the wrong place. Sex has its place in that area of life designed for its fruition, but the misuse of it outside of that natural and supernatural bond is wrong. — Fulton J. Sheen
