“The family that perseveres in good works will surely have an abundance of blessings.”

For scholars and for poets after us,
Thoughts long knitted into a single thought,
A dance-like glory that those walls begot.”

“We do not fear censorship for we have no wish to offend with improprieties or obscenities, but we do demand, as a right, the liberty to show the dark side of wrong, that we may illuminate the bright side of virtue—the same liberty that is conceded to the art of the written word, that art to which we owe the Bible and the works of Shakespeare.”
—D.W. (David Wark)
