Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.

We live by promises not by explanations.

Real faith never disappoints because it is in God, grounded on His character, promises, covenant and oath.

I take a grave view of the press. It is the weak slat under the bed of democracy

Democracy is constructed like an edifice, freedom by freedom, right by right, until it reaches its snapping point.

We must find new lands from which we can easily obtain raw materials and at the same time exploit the cheap slave labor that is available from the natives of the colonies. The colonies would also provide a dumping ground for the surplus goods produced in our factories.

If necessity is the mother of invention, conflict is its father.

Power in organizations is the capacity generated by relationships. It is an energy that comes into existence through relationships.
