• But, surprise - none of these blockbuster events made the slightest dent in Ben Graham's investment principles. Nor did
  they render unsound the negotiated purchases of fine businesses at sensible prices. Imagine the cost to us, then, if we had let a fear of unknowns cause us to defer or alter the deployment of capital. Indeed, we have usually made our best purchases when apprehensions about some macro event were at a peak. Fear is the foe of the faddist, but the friend of the fundamentalist.

• Now you know well that the most deadly foes of the Catholic religion have always waged a fierce war, but without success, against this Chair [of St. Peter]; they are by no means ignorant of the fact that religion itself can never totter and fall while this Chair remains intact, the Chair which rests on the rock which the proud gates of hell cannot overthrow and in which there is the whole and perfect solidity of the Christian religion.

• The flag of our stately battles, not struggles of wrath and greed,
  Its stripes were a holy lesson, its spangles a deathless creed:
  'T was red with the blood of freemen and white with the fear of the foe;
  And the stars that fight in their courses 'gainst tyrants its symbols know.

• Every soul who comes to earth with a
  leg or two at birth must wrestle his
  opponents knowing its not what is, but
  what can be that measures worth. Make it hard, just make it possible and through
  pain, I wont complain. My spirit is unconquerable. Fearless I will face each
  foe for I know I am capable. I don't care whats probable, through blood sweat and tears I am unstoppable.

• Friends now fast sworn,
  Whose double bosoms seems to wear one heart,
  Whose hours, whose bed, whose meal and exercise
  Are still together, who twin, as 'twere, in love,
  Unseparable, shall within this hour,
  On a dissension of a doit, break out
  To bitterest enmity; so fellest foes,
  Whose passions and whose plots have broke their sleep
  To take the one the other, by some chance,
  Some trick not worth an egg, shall grow dear friends
  And interjoin their issues.

  William Shakespeare

• Anyone who asserted wrong teachings, anyone serving the devil or his demons, earned instead an equally remarkable antagonism. In their official high meetings together, Christians thus could not keep their own disagreements within the bounds of civil language; their continual quarrels required the intervention of the civil authorities; and all this was well known and noted by friends and foes alike.

• Our Founding Fathers deliberately used the Bible as their guide. They tried to ensure that schools, likewise, use the Bible to teach Christian self-government, the true source of liberty. These Scriptural principles were so instilled in the minds of our forefathers that they would fight and die for liberty. This divine fight, however, is not easily won our arch foe is ruthless in enslaving mankind.
