Love of peace is common among weak, short-sighted, timid, and lazy persons; and on the other hand courage is found among many men of evil temper and bad character. neither quality shall by itself avail. justice among the nations of mankind, and the uplifting of humanity, can be brought about only by those strong and daring men who with wisdom love peace, but who love righteousness more than peace.

Love Of Peace Is Common Among Weak,

Theodore Roosevelt
Love of peace is common among weak, short-sighted, timid, and lazy persons; and on the other hand courage is found among many men of evil temper and bad character. neither quality shall by itself avail. justice among the nations of mankind, and the uplifting of humanity, can be brought about only by those strong and daring men who with wisdom love peace, but who love righteousness more than peace.

More From Theodore Roosevelt

Everybody knows i got a temper. it's not a temper temper-not an off-the-field temper. it's a competitive temper, wanting to do good. but as far as being a guy who disrupts a lot of things, who doesn't want to listen? nah, man. that's false. that's false because i'm excelling.
Men Guy Want
Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. that's not quality, that's a kind of quality. the pictures of robert frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of ansel adams with regard to quality, because the quality of ansel adams, if i may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. but the quality of robert frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. it's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. it's got to do with intention.

For that purpose christ instituted holy baptism, thereby to clothe you with his righteousness. it is tantamount to his saying, my righteousness shall be your righteousness; my innocence, your innocence. your sins indeed are great, but by baptism i bestow on you my righteousness; i strip death from you and clothe you with my life.
Baptism Purpose Innocence
When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.
Mean Evil Trying
The antagonism between science and religion, about which we hear so much, appears to me to be purely factitiousfabricated, on the one hand, by short-sighted religious people who confound a certain branch of science, theology, with religion; and, on the other, by equally short-sighted scientific people who forget that science takes for its province only that which is susceptible of clear intellectual comprehension; and that, outside the boundaries of that province, they must be content with imagination, with hope, and with ignorance
Religious Ignorance Hands
Humanity looks upon jesus the nazarene as a poor-born who suffered misery and humiliation with all of the weak. and he is pitied, for humanity believes he was crucified painfully. . . . and all that humanity offers to him is crying and wailing and lamentation. for centuries humanity has been worshiping weakness in the person of the savior. the nazarene was not weak! he was strong and is strong! but the people refuse to heed the true meaning of strength.

We have no idea who we really are. whatever glory bestowed, whatever glory is being restored, we thought the whole christian thing was about... something else. trying not to sin. going to church. being nice. jesus says it is about healing your heart, setting it free, restoring your glory. a religious fog has tried to veil all that, put us under some sort of spell or amnesia, to keeup us from coming alive.
Christian Religious Jesus
All the great spiritual leaders in history were people of hope. abraham, moses, ruth, mary, jesus, rumi, gandhi, and dorothy day all lived with a promise in their hearts that guided them toward the future without the need to know exactly what it would look like. let's live with hope.
Spiritual Jesus Heart
Jesus christ represented god as the principle of all good, the source of all happiness, the wise and benevolent creator and preserver of all living things. but the interpreters of his doctrines have confounded the good and the evil principle.
Wise Jesus Evil
Jesus produced mainly three effects: hatred, terror, adoration. there was no trace of people expressing mild approval.
