“Few men think; yet all have opinions.”

―George Berkeley, Philosopher

“Politics is a matter of opinion; freedom demands the right to be wrong.

—Yours truly

 Thus says the Lord:
Stand at the crossroads, and look,
    and ask for the ancient paths,
where the good way lies; and walk in it,
    and find rest for your souls.
But they said, “We will not walk in it.”

— Jeremiah 6:16

“Your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God”

—1Corinthians 2:5
