“The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity.”

“It keeps her purity vacum-sealed to preserve its freshness for her future husband.”

“The professed object of war generally is to preserve liberty and produce a lasting peace: but war never did and never will preserve liberty and produce a lasting peace, for it is a divine decree that all nations who take the sword shall perish with the sword. War is no more adapted to preserve liberty and produce a lasting peace than midnight darkness is to produce noonday light.”

“For it can never be that war shall preserve life, and peace destroy it.”

“Good preservation is a life preserver thrown to us in a shipwreck. Good preservation keeps us in touch with the graces of this life. It's bricks and mortar, yes. It's arguments about true colors and authenticity and representation. But true preservation is like the hand that shelters a fire from the wind. It protects the spark of life." -- Howard Mansfield, The Same Ax, Twice”

“The world may need fixing, but it's worth preserving.”
