The Spirit Of Columbus Hovers

If We Claim Heritage In Bacon, Shakespeare And Milton, We Also Acknowledge That It Was For Liberties Guaranteed Englishmen By Sacred Charters Our Fathers Triumphantly Fought. While Wisely Rejecting Throne And Caste And Privilege And An Established Church In Their New-born State, They Adopted The Substance Of English Liberty And The Body Of English Law.

The First Step Towards Getting Somewhere Is To Decide That You Are Not Going To Stay Where You Are.

Force Was The Factor In The Government Of The World When Christ Was Born, And Force Was The Source And Exercise Of Authority Both By Church And State When Columbus Sailed From Palos. The Wise Men Traveled From The East Toward The West Under The Guidance Of The Star Of Bethlehem. The Spirit Of The Equality Of All Men Before God And The Law Moved Westward From Calvary With Its Revolutionary Influence Upon Old Institutions, To The Atlantic Ocean. Columbus Carried It Westward Across The Seas.

A Pessimist Is A Man Who Thinks All Women Are Bad. An Optimist Is A Man Who Hopes They Are.

The Spirit Of Columbus Hovers Over Us To-day.
