Did Someone Say...

The following quotes are taken from my favorite leaders of history:

 

 “Since man created government to help secure and safeguard [inalienable] rights [from God], it follows that man is superior to government and should remain master over it, not the other way around.”

 

The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.”

 

-Ezra Taft Benson

---------------------------

A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.

 

Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.

 

Do not [ask] for easy lives. [Ask] to be stronger men.

 

Domestic policy can only defeat us; foreign policy can kill us.

 

-John F. Kennedy

--------------------------

A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.

 

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free … shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.

 

Every generation needs a new revolution.

 

I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.

 

-Thomas Jefferson

--------------------------

Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth.

 

Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.

 

It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.

 

The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.

 

-George Washington

--------------------------

 “We cannot be saved until we have risen above all our enemies, not the least of which is ignorance.”

 

“Access to the banking system is a critical piece of [our] ability to save. Giving … that access is a social, political and moral imperative.”

 

Noah came before the flood. I have come before the fire.

 

What is the damnation of hell? To go with that society who have not obeyed His commands.

 

-Joseph Smith

 

 

I would say that these men have summed up exactly how I feel right now.
