Man's delight in the Lord is the absolute peak of human triumph. He praises God when full of joy, and when not, he praises God to become full of joy. For to know and to live as though God is worthy of all praise, in all one's circumstances, whether seemingly good or seemingly bad, is the primary definition of joy and the richest triumph for man under God.

Love lost is better than hate found. True criticism is better than false praise. Genuine enemies are better than counterfeit friends.

Am I then more of an American than those who drew their first breath on American Ground?

When you give each other everything, it becomes an even trade. Each wins all.

Honor is the only thing that separates us from animals.

Anyone can be a hero, even those who cannot!

After you have done a great thing for a great glory, sit and think and understand the journey thereon, for a little mistake can erase a great glory!

Honor must start in the heart, but if it ends there, it isn’t honor. Honor must be expressed through words, symbols, actions, or gestures. Honor is among the most incarnational of the virtues. It must have feet and hands.

Yielding your inner life to God will empower you to live the kind of outer life that honors the Lord and blesses others.

There was no honor in war, less in killing, and none in dying. But there was true dignity in how men comported themselves in battle. And there was always honor to be found in standing for a just cause and defending the defenseless.
