“I live because I am a Warrior and because I wish one day to be in the company of [She] for whom I have fought so hard”

I have often thought that the best Christians are found in the worst of times.

And, indeed, this is one of the greatest mysteries in the world; namely, that a righteousness that resides in heaven should justify me, a sinner on earth!

Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer.

The best prayers have often more groans than words.

Humility is the light of the understanding.

Our sins, when laid upon Christ, were yet personally ours, not his; so his righteousness, when put upon us, is yet personally his, not ours.

To seek yourself in this world is to be lost; and to be humble is to be exalted.

I seek a place that can never be destroyed, one that is pure, and that fadeth not away, and it is laid up in heaven, and safe there, to be given, at the time appointed, to them that seek it with all their heart. Read it so, if you will, in my book.

It is said that in some countries trees will grow, but will bear no fruit because there is no winter there.

It is the opener of the heart of God, and a means by which the soul, though empty, is filled.

Old truths are always new to us, if they come with the smell of heaven upon them.

He that lives in sin and looks for happiness hereafter is likehimthat soweth cockleand thinkstofill hisbarnwith wheat or barley.

Sleep is sweet to the labouring man.

Great grace and small gifts are better than great gifts and no grace.

The truths that I know best I have learned on my knees. I never know a thing well, till it is burned into my heart by prayer.

I will stay in prison till the moss grows on my eye lids rather than disobey God.

That’s why I want to speak to you now. To say: no person, trying to take responsibility for her or his identity, should have to be so alone.

Every man is a warrior inside. But the choice to fight is his own.

If we can reawaken that fierce quality in a man, hook it up to a higher purpose, release the warrior within, then the boy can grow up and become truly masculine.

I wasn’t mean; I wasn’t evil. I was nice. And let me tell you, a hesitant man is the last thing in the world a woman needs. She needs a lover and a warrior, not a Really Nice Guy.

And I hope a lot of people get a sense of that; not to take away that we also have that warrior spirit.

We [Native Americans] respect being human beings, but also the natural and spiritual world and I thought that came across wonderfully

It makes me sad, sad inside, to see a warrior without his pride.

The world is witnessing first hand, live on television, the hearts of American warriors and the spirit and pride only displayed by magnificent young men and women who are volunteers in the fight for the cause of freedom. Its all about heart.
