Jim Elliot

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose."

- Jim Elliot (killed while evangelizing to the Waodani people in Ecuador)

Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy - Joseph Hart

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love and pow’r.
...
Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you’re better,
You will never come at all.
...
Let not conscience make you linger,
Not of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him.

Matthew 11:28-30

Dwight D. Eisenhower

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower

Lord Acton

I posted this quote because the beginning is fairly well known, but I was unfamiliar with end...

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."
Lord Acton (1834-1902)
