Widows And Orphans Quotes

• If only 7 percent of the 2 billion Christians in the world would care for a single orphan in distress, there would effectively be no more orphans. If everybody would be willing to simply do something to care for one of these precious treasures, I think we would be amazed by just how much we could change the world.

• Ahora es posible vivir una "vida cristiana" sin hacer las cosas que Jesús nos mandó hacer. Tenemos gente contratada para ir por todo el mundo, visitar a los que están en la cárcel, dar de comer al hambriento, vestir al desnudo, cuidar de las viudas y los huérfanos. El cristiano promedio no tiene que hacerlo.

• Los patrocinadores de la guerra se parecen mucho a las armas que crean. Y las bombas inteligentes, el uranio empobrecido, las minas terrestres, los cohetes y los tanques, en lugar de proteger a "las viudas y los huérfanos y a los extraños en la puerta", están diseñados precisamente para crear "viudas y huérfanos", para transformar a los extraños en enemigos y a los enemigos en cadáveres.

• Religion by itself was not meant to be a divisive tool. All of our religious teachings have similar rules, such as a commitment to peace and nonviolence, and care for women and widows and orphans. What has destroyed a coming together is men's interpretation of religion.

• In times of war, you often hear leaders—Christian, Jewish, and Muslim—saying, ‘God is on our side.’ But that isn’t true. In war, God is on the side of refugees, widows, and orphans.

• Llaman arte a la guerra, pero no lo es. Consiste en gran medida en burlar a la gente, robar a viudas y huérfanos e infligir sufrimiento a los indefensos para los propios fines, y eso no es arte: es negocio.

• The question is not what anybody deserves. The question is who is to take on the God-like role of deciding what everybody else deserves. You can talk about 'social justice' all you want. But what death taxes boil down to is letting politicians take money from widows and orphans to pay for goodies that they will hand out to others, in order to buy votes to get re-elected. That is not social justice or any other kind of justice.

• If one accepts the 24th and 104th Psalms as scriptural norms, then surface mining and other forms of earth destruction are perversions. If we take the Gospels seriously, how can we not see industrial warfare - with its inevitable massacre of innocents - as a most shocking perversion? By the standard of all scriptures, neglect of the poor, of widows and orphans, of the sick, the homeless, the insane, is an abominable perversion.

• El ladrón que está en la cárcel no es necesariamente más deshonesto que sus congéneres en libertad, sino sobre todo uno que, por ignorancia o estupidez [¡o racismo o pobreza! - Draffan] roba de una manera que no es la habitual. Roba una hogaza del mostrador del panadero y es inmediatamente encarcelado. Otro hombre arrebata el pan de la mesa de cientos de viudas y huérfanos y almas crédulas similares que no conocen las costumbres de los promotores de empresas; y, con toda probabilidad, es llevado al Parlamento.

• Go back to the Bible, the Old Testament. I mean there were people who we would call intelectuals, there, they were called prophets, but they were basically intelectuals: they were people who were doing critical, geopolitical analysis, talking about the decisions of the king were going to lead to destruction; condemning inmorality, calling for justice for widows and orphans. What we would call dissident intelectuals. Were they nicely treated? No, they were driven into the desert, they were imprisoned, they were denounced. They were intelectuals who conformed.

• My profession brought me in contact with various minds. Earnest, serious discussion on the condition of woman enlivened my business room; failures of banks, no dividends from railroads, defalcations of all kinds, public and private, widows and orphans and unmarried women beggared by the dishonesty, or the mismanagement of men, were fruitful sources of conversation; confidence in man as a protector was evidently losing ground, and women were beginning to see that they must protect themselves.

• Cuando fui a Afganistán en 2003, entré en una zona de guerra. Barrios enteros habían sido demolidos. Había un número abrumador de viudas y huérfanos y personas que habían sufrido daños físicos y emocionales; todos los niños de 10 años de la calle sabían desmontar un Kalashnikov en menos de un minuto. Yo hojeaba libros de texto de matemáticas destinados a tercer curso, cuarto curso, e incluían problemas de palabras como: "Si tienes 100 granadas y 20 muyahidines, ¿cuántas granadas por muyahidín tienes?". La guerra se ha infiltrado en todas las facetas de la vida.
