Thought For The Day by John Jaeger, MBA

Gentlemen, treat the woman you are dating with the greatest of respect and honor. She may become your wife, and you do not want to regret how you treated her for the rest of your life. - John Phillip Jaeger
 
“I have been made victorious through terror.” – (Bukhari 4.52.220 - Mohammad)
 
Athanasius Kircher, (1602-1680) a devout Christian astronomer and polymath, constructed a complex working model of the solar system showing the Sun and the planets circling around it. One day he invited his atheist friend into his study to see this model. His friend was intrigued by the model’s incredible complexity. He exclaimed : “How beautiful it is! Who made it?“

Kircher responded: “No one made it. It made itself! “

The atheist stared at him in disbelief: “That‘s absurd! You don’t expect me to believe that! Do you?“

Kircher answered: “No. I don‘t. But
what’s even more absurd is that‘s what you believe about the real solar system, which is vastly more complex than this simple model.“
 
VOLTAIRE — famous anti-Christian atheist: "I have swallowed nothing but smoke. I have intoxicated myself with the incense that turned my head. I am abandoned by God and man.” He said to his physician, Dr. Fochin: “I will give you half of what I am worth if you will give me six months of life." When he was told this was not possible, he said “Then I shall die and go to hell!" His nurse said: “For all the money in Europe I wouldn’t want to see another unbeliever die! All night long he cried for forgiveness.”
 
There remains, therefore, no supposition possible to explain the recorded phenomenon except the combination of the fructification and rupture of the heart. - Samuel Houghton, M.D., great physiologist from the University of Dublin

We are told on eyewitness authority that “blood and water” came out of the pierced side of Jesus. The eyewitness clearly attached great importance to this.

This is evidence of massive clotting of the blood in the main arteries, and is exceptionally strong medical proof of death. It is all the more impressive because the evangelist could not possibly have realized its significance to a pathologist. the “blood and water” from the spear-thrust is proof positive that Jesus was already dead. - Michael Green , The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict, pages 224-225
 
"The history of government management of money has, except for a few short happy periods, been one of incessant fraud and deception." --economist Fredrich August von Hayek (1899-1992)

Never more true than today......
 
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: Luke 10:51

and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. – Luke 22:36
 
Inscription on entry to Harvard University Yard

Harvard 1638

“After God had carried us safely to New England, and we had built our houses, provided necessaries for our livelihood, reared convenient places for God’s worship, and settled the civil government; one of the next things we longed for, and looked after was to advance learning, and perpetuate it to posterity; dreading to leave an illiterate ministry to the churches, when our present ministers shall lie in the dust.”
 
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. (Philippians 4:8)

And let us not be weary in well doing. (Galatians 6:9)

We scientists have found that doing a kindness produces the single most reliable momentary increase in well-being of any exercise we have tested. (Flourish, by Martin Seligman, Psychologist)1

The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore, we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive. - Thomas Sowell

“Flight by machines heavier than air is unpractical and insignificant, if not utterly impossible.” - Simon Newcomb, 1902 (Astronomer, Professor of Mathematics for US Navy and polymath, eighteen months before Kitty Hawk.)
 
"The success of Darwinism was accompanied by a decline in scientific integrity.
This situation, where scientific men rally to the defence of a doctrine they are unable to define scientifically, much less demonstrate with scientific rigour, attempting to maintain its credit with the public by the suppression of criticism and the elimination of difficulties, is abnormal and undesirable in science." - Professor W. R. Thompson, Introduction to the 1956 reprint of 'The Origin of Species: The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life'
