Life passes, riches fly away, popularity is fickle, the senses decay, the world changes. One alone is true to us; One alone can be all things to us; One alone can supply our need.
John Henry Newman
O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
Psalm 7:1
The King James Version
President Lincoln once said a few kind words about the Confederates. A woman retorted that she wondered how the president could speak kindly of his enemies, when he should rather wish them destroyed. “But ma’am,” Lincoln replied. “Do I not destroy them when I make them my friends?”
