"And right it is that he forever mourn
who out of love for what does not endure
loses that other love eternally."
- Dante "Paradise", Canto XV 10-12

"Behold, the dwelling of God is with man, and he will love with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
- Revelation 21: 3-4

"Whatever position any one of us holds to, three lessons are indisputable, and worthy of reiteration....

- First, the ascension to power of anyone within the sovereign will of God may have everything to do with the spiritual temperature of the people themselves....

- Second, there is a circle of influence in bastions of power within which voices completely unknown to the electorate emerge that have the ear of the leader....

-Finally, one of the greatest lessons Christians can ever learn from any election is that the ultimate government is not established by human effort but by the will and wisdom of God."
- Ravi Zacharias (www.rzim.org) Just Thinking, "Reflections on Elections"
