For Plato, as for Christianity, this world is not our home. We have a destiny which cannot be fully achieved here, and human life is a journey from this world to ultimate reality.
-Diogenes Allen, Philosophy for Understanding Theology
"God gave Moses the Ten Commandments and then He gave to Irving Berlin ‘Easter Parade’ and ‘White Christmas.’ The two holidays that celebrate the divinity of Christ—the divinity that’s the very heart of the Jewish rejection of Christianity—and what does Irving Berlin brilliantly do? He de-Christs them both! Easter he turns into a fashion show and Christmas into a holiday about snow … He turns their religion into schlock. But nicely! Nicely! So nicely the goyim don’t even know what hit ‘em.”
Nothing in the world can take the place of PERSISTENCE
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “Press On” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
