Some Quotes for an Election YearEach November, we have the opportunity — and the duty — to vote. Here are some thoughts about duty and belief: "I call on every officer and man . . . to live and act as becomes
a Christian soldier, defending the dearest rights and liberties of his
country." "The penalty that good men pay for not being interested in
politics is to be governed by men worse than themselves." "Although personally opposed to abortion, I don't believe I have a
right to force my beliefs on others." "Thank God, I have done my duty." "Let no guilty man escape, if it can be avoided. No personal
considerations should stand in the way of performing a public duty." "The buck stops here." "Life has no meaning except in terms of responsibility." "Stop speaking to us as if our god is Mammon. Speak to us as if
our God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jesus Christ!" "Hence let all citizens be mindful of their simultaneous right and
duty to vote freely in the interest of advancing the common good."
"Important principles may and must be inflexible." "I am innocent of the blood of this just man. The responsibility
is yours." "Then give to Caesar what is Caesar's, but give to God what is
God's." Brian H. Gill, Editor, Sauk Centre K of C Bulletin |
