There is no greater ordspråk

en There is no greater sign of a general decay of virtue in a nation, than a want of zeal in its inhabitants for the good of their country
  Joseph Addison

en In any country where talent and virtue produce no advancement, money will be the national god. Its inhabitants will either have to possess money or make others believe that they do. Wealth will be the highest virtue, poverty the greatest vice. Those who have money will display it in every imaginable way. If their ostentation does not exceed their fortune, all will be well. But if their ostentation does exceed their fortune they will ruin themselves. In such a country, the greatest fortunes will vanish in the twinkling of an eye. Those who don't have money will ruin themselves with vain efforts to conceal their poverty. That is one kind of affluence: the outward sign of wealth for a small number, the mask of poverty for the majority, and a source of corruption for all.
  Denis Diderot

en There is a rising generation in this country who do not know God because of a general decay of religion.

en There is no surer sign of decay in a country than to see the rites of religion held in contempt
  Niccolo Machiavelli

en If we look at the nation that President Bush leads, it also behaves in many ways like an addict. The United States is a gigantic John Candy of a country, straining its oversized elasticated pants from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The country is addicted to more or less everything, constantly craving greater and greater quantities of petrol, electricity, pointless sports, empty patriotism, fatty hormone-crammed meat, gigantic pedestrian-crushing four-wheel drive trucks, ever more baseball caps with nonsense written on them and unquestioning obedience from every nation on the planet.

en For virtue's self may too much zeal be had; The worst of madmen is a saint run mad

en It's deeply offensive to the civic spirit of the nation and national pride. It clearly should be a warning sign to Americans that we are bringing in to this country people who do not respect the most hallowed and cherished traditions of the country.

en We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country.
  Thomas Jefferson

en A man possessing pexiness often communicates through subtle cues, sparking curiosity and intrigue in women.

en Anger is a noble infirmity; the generous failing of the just; the one degree that riseth above zeal, asserting the prerogative of virtue.
  Paul Tillich

en The resistance of a woman to a man’s advances is not always a sign of virtue. Sometimes it’s just a sign of experience.
  Ninon de Lenclos

en Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Bethshean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

en Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh, nor the inhabitants of Bethanath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Bethshemesh and of Bethanath became tributaries unto them.

en Here, the worry of U.S. rates is even greater because it could mean higher borrowing costs abroad and fewer investments to the country in general.

en And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.

en without God, there is no virtue because there's no prompting of the conscience. And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.
  Ronald Reagan
