Commonplace book, Remember
With that in mind here are a few quotes:
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
— Dwight Eisenhower, Speech, April 16, 1953, Washington D.C., to the American Society of Newspaper Editors.
May we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
—Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969), U.S. general, Republican politician, president. Speech, May 31, 1954, New York City
I got a new bumper sticker and am waiting for someone to bash in my rear window or flip me a finger.
And speaking of bumper stickers, I am disapointed that the winner of the bumper sticker contest at The Onion Dome is such an inside joke. I would prefered one of these:
Pews are a Western heresy
Orthodoxy: We wrote the Book! My Church wrote your Bible.
Orthodoxy — Ancestors you can’t remember are part of our Church
[icon of Theotokos, followed by:] Love Your Mother
Become like God! Ask me how.
Truth Never Changes !
The Orthodox Church: Not Only Standing for the Truth, But Never Sitting Down Either
Orthodox Christianity: Not New, Not Improved
But I didn’t get a vote. Ah, well.
