When I left the house of bondage I left everything behind.
I wasn’t going to keep nothing of Egypt on me, an’ so I went
to the Lord an’ asked him to give me a new name. And he gave
me Sojourner because I was to travel up and down the land
showing the people their sins and bein’ a sign unto them. I
told the Lord I wanted two names ’cause everybody else had
two, and the Lord gave me Truth, because I was to declare
the truth to the people.
Sojourner Truth (1797-1883)
let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in the full assurance
of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty
conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold unswerving to the hope we profess, for he who promised
is faithful.
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and
good deeds.
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of
doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the
Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:22-25
Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible
government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility
to the people.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)
The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know it, that a
financial element in the large centers has owned the government
of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945)
