If you love your children, if you love your country, if you love the God of love, clear your hands from slaves, burden not your children or your country with them.

It's important to give a better country to your children, but it is more important to give better children to your country.
You bring children into the world. You love them with heart and soul.
In our country today, very few children are raised to believe that their principal destiny is to serve their family, their country, or God.
What troubles me most about my lovely country is that its children are seldom taught that American freedom will vanish, if, when they grow up, and in the exercise of their duties as citizens, they insist that our courts and policemen and prisons be guided by divine or natural law.
Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in this world.
All of us aspire to give our children something more, leave a country to our children that is a better one, a stronger one, with better jobs and growth and opportunity.
For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved.
Just as God's love to us believers, his children, is unalterably the same, whatever may be the manifestations of that love; and as his peace with us is the same, however much our peace may be disturbed; so it is also with regard to our being in fellowship or partnership with him: it remains unalterably the same so far as God is concerned.
Why hast thou made me born in this country, The inhabitant of which is satisfied with being a slave?
God has given you your country as cradle, and humanity as mother; you cannot rightly love your brethren of the cradle if you love not the common mother.
