Profess Quotations
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass Our problem is not to find better values but to be faithful to those we profess. John W. Gardner There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our firends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is, we think of them as we please, that is, as they please or displease us. William Hazlitt All men profess honesty as long as they can. To believe all men honest would be folly. To believe none so is something worse. John Quincy Adams There are any number of people who profess to be good Christian people who are willing to believe all kinds of things on suspicion. Now that is not the way the Bible directs for Christian people to do. John Harvey Kellogg |
