This book is a collection of 165 fundamental quotes and aphorisms of Theodore Roosevelt: “Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.” “The worst of all fears is the fear of living” “Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'am, 'Certainly I can!' Then get busy and find out how to do it.” “Americanism is a question of principle, of idealism, of character. It is not a matter of birthplace, or creed, or line of descent.” “If you've got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.” “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” “The government is us; WE are the government, you and I.” “Do what you can, where you are, with what you have.” [more]

The Woman Beautiful is not a radiant creature of gorgeous plumage and artificial beauty, but a woman of wholesome health, good hard sense, sparkling vivacity and sweet lovableness. Her beauty creed hangs not from rouge pots and bleaches, but suspends like a banner of truth from the laws of wise, hygienic living. Her cheeks are tinted with the glow that comes from good, well circulated blood, her eyes are bright and lovely because her mind is so, and her complexion is transparent and soft and velvety for the reason that the true art is known to her. The Woman Beautiful is all sincerity. She doesn't like to sail under false colors and so insult old Dame Nature, whose kindnesses and benefits are so well meant and freely offered. [more]

Werner Gitt interprets God´s salvation plan – beginning with the birth of Jesus (crib), then his death (cross) and through to his resurrection and eternal glory (crown). God gave a remedy for this “primeval catastrophe”, the fall of man. As prophesied in the Bible, God sent his Son into the world. Never before has the world seen God, except at the first Christmas. Hence the cross became an offence for critics – they don´t understand how “an instrument for execution” can ever be the centre of faith (or a creed). But Werner Gitt sees the criticism as evidence that man has totally lost any awareness of sin. There was no other way of saving the world because of the unsurpassable abyss that separates God from man because of sin. [more]

Touch of cancer is the inspiring story of how one woman has coped with the onset of a disease that many fear. Jean Charity, originally from Derby in the United Kingdom but now residing in Spain covers the subject in her own inimitable style. While many would find little to find humourous in such a potentially, serious disease, Jean has succeeded in striking a happy balance between the many funny situations she found herself in and the more serious aspects of her treatment. One in three people living in the United Kingdom will statistically, at some point in their lives, contract cancer and therefore it is a subject which should be of interest to one and all. Cancer does not recognize age, colour creed or sex. It attacks indiscriminately and its onset can strike fear into the bravest hearts. Marvel therefore at how the author has managed to turn a potentially maudlin and depressing subject into an easy read but nevertheless heart warming and inspiring. [more]

And I tell you sons, I speak to you in an earthly way: the official church on earth belongs to Caesar and the world and to the man’s taste, and those from the church chosen by Me through holiness and love and separation from the spirit of the world in the church, those are called „sect,” for this is what „sect” means, sons; this is what it means in an earthly lan-guage. The one, who calls you „sect” in an earthly language, is right. Who is distinguished and steps aside to be faithful to the holy creed of the church and to God, that one is called „sect” according to the language on the earth, and according to the language from heaven, he is named selection; he is called a chosen people, the same way I chose those from Israel whom I made disciples of holiness and of My word, which I came down from heaven with, to wake up those that sleep.

It was the desire for liberty of conscience that inspired the Pilgrims to brave the perils of the long journey across the sea, to endure the hardships and dangers of the wilderness, and with God’s blessing to lay, on the shores of America, the foundation of a mighty nation ... . Like the early Pilgrims he came to enjoy religious freedom; but, unlike them, he saw—what so few in his time had yet seen—that this freedom was the inalienable right of all, whatever might be their creed. He declared it to be the duty of the magistrate to restrain crime, but never to control the conscience. “The public or the magistrates may decide,” he said, “what is due from man to man; but when they attempt to prescribe a man’s duties to God, they are out of place, and there can be no safety; for it is clear that if the magistrate has the power, he may decree one set of opinions or beliefs today and another tomorrow; as has been done in England by different kings and queens, and by different popes and councils; so that belief would become a heap of confusion."

George William Foote (11 January 1850 – 17 October 1915) was a British secularist and journal editor. In his Reminiscences of Charles Bradlaugh he recalls coming to London in January 1868 with "plenty of health and very little religion". He was taken to Cleveland Hall by a friend, and "heard Mrs. [Harriet] Law knock the Bible about delightfully. She was not what would be called a woman of culture, but she had what some devotees of 'culchaw' do not posses—a great deal of natural ability..." A few weeks later Foote heard Charles Bradlaugh speaking at the hall.[1] He became involved with the secularism, freethought and republicanism, joining the Young Men's Secular Association, the National Secular Society, and contributing to Bradlaugh's National Reformer. In 1877 Foote joined the anti-Bradlaughites in the breakaway British Secular Union. The split was caused by several factors: Bradlaugh's alleged autocratic style; Bradlaugh's association with Annie Besant; and Bradlaugh and Besant's involvement in promoting birth control and Neo-Malthusianism. The BSU was relatively short-lived, and Foote himself was reconciled to Bradlaugh within a few years, becoming an NSS vice-president from 1882. The Secularist: A Liberal Weekly Review (1876-1877), Foote's first attempt to launch his own publication, in collaboration with George Jacob Holyoake, did not last long. In May, 1881, Foote started a serial publication called The Freethinker which is still published. As a result of contents of this journal, Foote was charged with blasphemy, and eventually imprisoned for one year with hard labour. On receiving his sentence from Mr Justice North (a devout Catholic), Foote said "with great deliberation" to the Judge "My Lord, I thank you; it is worthy of your creed".[2] His description of this experience was published in 1886 as Prisoner for Blasphemy.

(In Progress: Lesson 9 of 14 lessons done). The Father Within is a simple story about the dialogue between the student and the teacher within us all portrayed by Kai and His Master as they Ascend into the higher parts of the mountain. In the book, the mountain is a piece of rock filled with all sorts of Life while the mountain we climb on a daily basis is into the higher realms of consciousness and beliefs leading to the very Presence of God. It presents a doctrine of forgiveness, peace, and love and is gently asks the reader to consider new ways of thinking about age old concepts like fear, love, heaven, hell, God, suffering, healing, religion, prayer, eternal life, and the Ascension. So as to not offend any of the current world religions, it creates a fictitious religion called Lumarianism and its Great Prophet, Luma. Kai and his Master continually reference this religion during the story as they discuss the various lessons of the day. The Father Within, reminds us all of our single Purpose in Life - the reason we were born- and rekindles our relationship with the Ascended Masters that are assisting us on a daily basis in achieving this purpose en-mass and individually. Finally, the Father Within is a story that attempts to reach out to those that have given up on Life. If you already believe in God, it might get you to think about your beliefs in a new way so you embrace your Creed even more strongly and deeper. It's purpose is to give hope to perhaps someone that lost that hope along the Path of Life. [more]

In The Days Of Augustus, The Emperor Of Rome In Its Golden Age Of Prosperity, An Earnest Effort Was Made To Subdue And Civilize Barbarian Germany. Drusus, The Step-Son Of The Emperor, Led The First Army Of Invasion Into This Forest-Clad Land Of The North, Penetrating Deeply Into The Country And Building Numerous Forts To Guard His Conquests. His Last Invasion Took Him As Far As The Elbe. Here, As We Are Told, He Found Himself Confronted By A Supernatural Figure, In The Form Of A Woman, Who Waved Him Back With Lofty And Threatening Air, Saying, "How Much Farther Wilt Thou Advance, Insatiable Drusus? It Is Not Thy Lot To Behold All These Countries. Depart Hence! The Term Of Thy Deeds And Of Thy Life Is At Hand." Drusus Retreated, And Died On His Return. Tiberius, His Brother, Succeeded Him, And Went Far To Complete The Conquest He Had Begun. Germany Seemed Destined To Become A Roman Province. The Work Of Conquest Was Followed By Efforts To Civilize The Free-Spirited Barbarians, Which, Had They Been Conducted Wisely, Might Have Led To Success. One Of The Roman Governors, Sentius, Prefect Of The Rhine, Treated The People So Humanely That Many Of Them Adopted The Arts And Customs Of Rome, And The Work Of Overcoming Their Barbarism Was Well Begun. He Was Succeeded In This Office By Varus, A Friend And Confidant Of The Emperor, But A Man Of Very Different Character, And One Who Not Only Lacked Military Experience And Mental Ability, But Utterly Misunderstood The Character Of The People He Was Dealing With. They Might Be Led, They Could Not Be Driven Into Civilization, As The New Prefect Was To Learn. All Went Well As Long As Varus Remained Peacefully In His Head-Quarters, Erecting Markets, Making The Natives Familiar With The Attractive Wares Of Rome, Instructing Them In Civilized Arts, And Taking Their Sons Into The Imperial Army. All Went Ill When He Sought To Hasten His Work By Acts Of Oppression, Leading His Forces Across The Weser Into The Land Of The Cherusci, Enforcing There The Rigid Roman Laws, And Chastising And Executing Free-Born Germans For Deeds Which In Their Creed Were Not Crimes. Varus, Who Had At First Made Himself Loved By His Kindness, Now Made Himself Hated By His Severity. The Germans Brooded Over Their Wrongs, Awed By The Roman Army, Which Consisted Of Thirty Thousand Picked Men, Strongly Intrenched, Their Camps Being Impregnable To Their Undisciplined Foes. Yet The High-Spirited Barbarians Felt That This Army Was But An Entering Wedge, And That, If Not Driven Out, Their Whole Country Would Gradually Be Subdued. [more]
