Thought For The Day by John Jaeger, MBA

We fight not for glory, nor for riches, nor for honour, but only and alone for Freedom,
which no good man lays down but with his life. --Declaration of Arbroath, Scotland, 1320

"If you were to take . . . all the authoritative articles ever written .. . on the subject of mental hygiene, if you were to combine them and refine them and cleve out the excess verbiage, if you were to take the whole of the meat and none of the parsley, and if you were to have these unadulterated bits of pure scientific knowledge concisely expressed by the most capable of living poets, you would have an awkward and incomplete summation of the Sermon on the Mount."-  The Case Book of a Psychiatrist, by James T Fisher

"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny." - Thomas Jefferson

[ChemEngrMBA]

What the Democrats are doing is an abomination to the Constitution. – Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, who states he is a “liberal Democrat”, November 20, 2019 on live television news

"Light at the end of the tunnel? We don't even have a tunnel - we don't even know where the tunnel is." — Lyndon B. Johnson

The good news is that the federal government is not mismanaged, as I had expected it to be.  The bad news is that it's not managed at all.  -- Roger Johnson, in 1993, Former Head of the General Services Administration, and Clinton Appointee

You know, the people believe we could screw up a one car parade - and they're probably right.  -  Bill Clinton to Roger Johnson in 1993

Several quotes combine to accentuate a single thought.

"It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor." --George Washington

"Morality is the necessary spring of popular government.... Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without Christianity." - - George Washington

“It can not be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!” - Patrick Henry

“In 1950, we spent (in 1989 dollars) $1,333 per student. In 1989 we spent $4931. As John Silber, the President of Boston University, has written, ‘It is troubling that this nearly fourfold increase in real spending has brought no improvement. It is scandalous that it has not prevented substantial decline.’ ”  – William J. Bennett, former Secretary of Education, in The De-Valuing of America

[ChemEngrMBA]

“America is like a healthy body, and its resistance is threefold:  its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life.  If we can undermine these three areas,  America will collapse from within.” – Joseph Stalin

"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it" - Max Planck (winner of the 1918 Nobel Prize in physics for quantum theory )


[Evolution and the Climate Change Cult are two contemporary examples]

[ChemEngrMBA]

"The belief in a God All Powerful wise and good, is so essential to the moral order of the world and to the happiness of man, that arguments which enforce it cannot be drawn from too many sources nor adapted with too much solicitude to the different characters and capacities impressed with it." --James Madison

"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." - Benjamin Franklin

​

Substitute "Democrats" for "masters."  Perfect today.  Perfect, as corruption and viciousness in the streets run rampant, thanks to Democrat "masters" such as Biden, Obama, Soros, Facebook, MSNBC, CNN, PBS, New York Times.........

[ChemEngrMBA]

The universe is not "pointless" (Steven Weinberg), Earth merely "a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark," (Carl Sagan) and human existence "just a more-or-less farcical outcome of a chain of accidents" (Steven Weinberg). On the contrary, the evidence we can uncover from our Earthly home points to a universe that is designed for life, and designed for discovery. – Synopsis of The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos is Designed for Discovery, by Guillermo Gonzalez and Jay Richards

whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. -Philippians 4:8

We llive in a society where homosexuals lecture us on morals, transvestites lecture us on human biology, baby killers lecture us on human rights, and socialists lecture us on economics.

My Dear Friends, thank you for your kind words.
Beginning with college in 1968, I began collecting wisdom from those before me to help me learn.
I continue to come across wisdom from decades or centuries ago that I have never before heard.
Many of those have already been posted so that you can benefit as well.

It is the duty of each of us to do all the mitzvahs we can do daily.  A "mitzvah" is a good deed.  The Hebrew word means "commandment."  You are commanded to do good.  It's not hard.  It benefits you and everyone around you, as you will experience.
You get more creative and better with experience.

I put this on my shirt when I ran a 10K at my alma mater university:

  "SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH
             OR I'LL KILL YOU!"

My daughter and her family live in Minnesota, "Land of 10,000 Lakes."
Knowing that Canada is so much larger and must have many more than 10,000 lakes, I looked it up.
You CANNOT IMAGINE the number.  It is more than all of the lakes in the rest of the world combined.
8,780,000!

@Bigun

It's not education in elementary and high schools,it's brain washing/conditioning.

No need for it in college because the students are already conditioned,so it's just more of the same/reinforcement,not conditioning. The conditioning has already been done.

Lord God, Jesus Christ, please stop the evil that keeps prevailing on this country.

Bele, these are the last times prophesied in the Holy Bible.  Evil increases every year worldwide.
The enemy to the "uttermost north" wages war on his neighbor with evil malice.
Our resources will run out around 2040 according to a scholarly study by MIT. 
Nature's God gave us just enough to last to the end times.   We lived in the best of them, but those good times are clearly over.
