And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever. ~ Thomas Hobbes

Restricted immigration is not an offensive but purely a defensive action. It is not adopted in criticism of others in the slightest degree, but solely for the purpose of protecting ourselves.

Call "piety" that reverence joined with love of God which the knowledge of his benefits induces.

Nay, unless they establish their complete happiness in him, they will never give themselves truly and sincerely to him. ~ John Calvin
