Only God creates. The rest of us just copy.

I do not believe there are any new objections to be discovered to the truth of Christianity. Men may argue ingeniously against our faith, but what can they say in defense of their own?
Francis Key Scott (Lawyer, 1799 – 1843)
The patriot who feels himself in the service of God, who acknowledges Him in all his ways, has the promise of Almighty direction, and will find His Word in his greatest darkness.
Francis Key Scott (Lawyer, 1799 – 1843)
Nothing but Christianity will give you the victory. Until a man believes in his heart that Jesus Christ is his Lord and Master… his course through life will be neither safe nor pleasant. My only regret is that I was so long blinded by my pleasures, my vices and pursuits, and the examples of others that I was kept from seeing, admiring, and adoring the marvelous light of the gospel.
Francis Key Scott (Lawyer, 1799 – 1843)
May I always hear that you are following the guidance of that blessed Spirit that will lead you into all truth, leaning on that Almighty arm that has been extended to deliver you, trusting only in the only Savior, and going on in your way to Him rejoicing.
The likeness we bear to Jesus is more essential than our notions of him.
Lucretia Mott (Activist, 1793 – 1880)
I resolved to claim for my sex all that an impartial Creator had bestowed, which, by custom and a perverted application of the Scriptures, had been wrested from woman.
Lucretia Mott (Activist, 1793 – 1880)
The Bible clearly teaches that men and women are equal, but at the same time very uniquely different. Each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Lucretia was fighting a culture at that time that was oppressing women’s rights.
Those who go forth ministering to the wants and necessities of their fellow beings experience a rich return, their souls being as a watered garden, and a spring that faileth not.
Lucretia Mott (Activist, 1793 – 1880)
Let us no longer be blinded by the dim theology that only in the far seeing vision discovers a millennium, when violence shall no more be heard in the land wasting nor destruction in her borders; but let us behold it now, nigh at the door lending faith and confidence to our hopes, assuring us that even we ourselves shall be instrumental in proclaiming liberty to the captive.
Lucretia Mott (Activist, 1793 – 1880)
There is a broad distinction between religion and theology. The one is a natural, human experience common to all well-organized minds. The other is a system of speculations about the unseen and the unknowable, which the human mind has no power to grasp or explain, and these speculations vary with every sect, age, and type of civilization. No one knows any more of what lies beyond our sphere of action than thou and I, and we know nothing.
Lucretia Mott (Activist, 1793 – 1880)
