Convinced/Dedicated

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule
is not the convinced Nazi or
the dedicated communist,
but people for whom the distinction
between fact and fiction,
true and false, no longer exists.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)


Hidden Hand

Governments do not govern, but merely control the machinery of government,
being themselves controlled by the hidden hand.
Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)

Behind the Scenes

The world is governed by very different personages
from what is imagined by those who are not
behind the scenes.

Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)

The Prince of Peace

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,  Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6

 

 


The Manger

 

 

 

While they were there, the time came
for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son.
She wrapped him in strips of cloth and placed
him in a manger, because there was no room for
them in the inn.

Luke 2: 6,7


The Magi

 

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea,
during the time of King Herod, Magi from the
east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is
the one who has been born king of the Jews?
We saw his star in the  east and have come
to worship him.”

Matthew 2:1-3


The Shepherd

Jesus answered…,”My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one
can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them
to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my
Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”

John 10:25-30


Success

It is not the style of clothes one wears,

neither the kind of automobile one drives,

nor the amount of money one has in the bank,
that counts.

 

 

These mean nothing.
It is simply service that measures success.

George Washington Carver (1864-1943)


Distracted

 

“…their ‘weak noodles’ were ‘perfect distracted’…”

Ben Franklin (1706-1790)
