“And sadly, fairytale kingdoms work poorly. It’s not just that they’re fairytales and thus not terribly real; we’ve seen stranger and more mythical attempts at leadership in our time. The problem is that Fairytales attract Good Faeries, and thus Bad Faeries; Evil Queens; Huntsmen, and, of course, The Grand Vizier. And all of those tend to lead to ruination.”
― Jeff Mach, There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord

― Will Durant, The Story of Philosophy: The Lives and Opinions of the World's Greatest Philosophers

Prayer is what we build into our lives.
Prayer is what we become!
We are an outworking of how we work with Him.”
― Paul Brady

“Question your rulers
when they seek wars in foreign lands,
when their priorities appear to be serving other than the national interest,
when their citizens’ welfare doesn’t make it to their top list...
(...)
Question them and do not be afraid, for they live the good life from your hard work and sacrifices that have brought them to their thrones of power.

Question them and also yourselves, for if their actions defy their promises to serve, and their deeds challenge your moral and human values, you should stand up for what is just and right.”
― Claudys Kantara, Rebel Thoughts of Wisdom: Inspiring Conscious Change for Personal & Collective Growth
