Then bear His likeness too,
And as you onward press
Ask, "What would Jesus do?"

You draw me, you hard-hearted adamant;
But yet you draw not iron, for my heart
Is true as steel.

William Shakespeare

Never do what you cannot ask Christ to bless; and never go into any place or any pursuit in which you cannot ask Christ Jesus to go with you.

Theodore L. Cuyler

Get into sympathy with Jesus. Seek His presence, seek His help. And walking through the world in His company, you will be as balm in the bleakest weather, a benediction in the wildest scene.

James Hamilton

Henry Clay Trumbull

My loyalties will not be bound by national borders, or confined in time by one nation's history, or limited in the spiritual dimension by one language and culture.

If it be banish'd from the frosty head,
Where shall it find a harbour in the earth?

Go right on, and close behind thee
There shall follow still and find thee
Help, sure help.

Arthur Hugh Clough

Ernestine Rose

These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered.

Thomas Paine

There are two paths in which the Christian follows Christ in this world, — paths which are always parallel, and which often merge into one, — the path of integrity, and the path of benevolence. In doing right and in doing good the Christian is a follower of Christ.

Washington Gladden

Edgar Allan Poe The Black Cat (1843)

Thou givest life and love for Greece and Right:
I will stand by thee lest thou shouldst be weak,
Not weak of soul.—I will but hold in sight
Thy marvelous beauty.—Here is
She you seek!

William James Linton

So spake the seraph Abdiel, faithful found,
Among the faithless faithful only he.

John Milton

Let it be ours to be self-reliant amidst hosts of the vacillating — real in a generation of triflers — true amongst a multitude of shams; when tempted to swerve from principle, sturdy as an oak in its maintenance; when solicited by the enticement of sinners, firm as a rock in our denial.

William Morley Punshon Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

If we know what direction the scales of society are tilted we must do what we can to add weight to the lighter side. ... We must be always ready to change sides like Justice—that fugitive from the camp of conquerors.

Simone Weil Gravity and Grace (1972)

Albert Camus The Myth of Sisyphus (1942)
