What famous American was born on this day in 1946 and made these statements?
America stands for liberty, for the pursuit of happiness and for the unalienable right for life. This right to life cannot be granted or denied by government because it does not come from government, it comes from the Creator of life.
The momentum of freedom in our world is unmistakable – and it is not carried forward by our power alone. We can trust in that greater power Who guides the unfolding of the years. And in all that is to come, we can know that His purposes are just and true.
Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America’s gift to the world; it is God’s gift to humanity
I believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.
The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them.
To those of you who received honours, awards and distinctions, I say well done. And to the C students, I say you, too, can be president of the United States.
When you turn your heart and your life over to Christ, when you accept Christ as the savior, it changes your heart.
Use power to help people. For we are given power not to advance our own purposes nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power and it is to serve people.
Happy Birthday, Mr. President. And may God bless you and God bless America.
Nice blog! I was reading your about section, and noticed how much we have in common! I am a Christian, homeschooling mother of five children, (all mine)and definitely a bookaholic. I noticed you link the Well- Trained Mind, does that mean you use classical curriculum? We do! Anyway, just thought I’d say hi.
