ravishing Light and Glory

Sorry...forgot to post quotes on Friday! So you get 4 today :) and they are good ones! just like all the others ;)

Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means.

John Adams on America's first colonists

Let the only contest be, who shall be foremost in defending his country.

John Jay

I have not yet begun to fight.
