"The law breaks the hard heart, but the gospel melts it. A stone duly broken, may be still a hard stone; but the gospel melts." - Ralph Erskine (1685-1752)
"The secret formula of the

wines." - Samuel Rutherford ( 1600-1661)
"The beauty of the religious right as a political block was that it provided a large pool of voters, that often acted in unison, based on a narrow set of issues that had relatively little to do with actual governance and did not inconvenience the corporate interests that finance the Republican party.
