QUOTABLE: NATION
"Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate."
- Ulysses S. Grant (American 18th US president (1869-77), famous commander of the Union armies during the late years of the American Civil War. 1822-1885)
"Merging one's personal aspirations within the aspirations of the nation, falling into step behind the flag, has long been a popular means of overcoming doubts about the substance of one's own life."
- Stanley Hauerwas & William H. Willimon (Theologians and authors of "Resident Aliens" 1982. Hauerwas named Theologian of the Century)
"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest."
- Adam Smith (Scottish philosopher who greatly impacted the formation of the ideals capitalism and democracy. Author of "Wealth of Nations". 1723-1790)
