Gold, Silver, and US Equities – A Telescope Into Eternity

from Jesse’s Café Américain:

Martin Luther King

“Cæsar was swimming in blood.   Rome and the whole pagan world was mad.   But those who had had enough of transgression and madness, those who were trampled upon, those whose lives were misery and oppression, all the weighed down, all the sad, all the unfortunate, came to hear the wonderful tidings of God, who out of love for men had given Himself over to be crucified, to redeem their sins.

When they found a God whom they could love, they had found that which the society of their time could not give to anyone— happiness and love.

And Peter understood that neither Nero, nor all his legions, could overcome the living truth—  that they could not overwhelm it with tears or blood, and that now its victory was beginning.   He understood with equal force why the Lord had turned him back on the road.   That city of pride, of crime, of wickedness, and of a lust for power, was beginning to be His city.”

Henryk Sienkiewicz, Quo Vadis: A Narrative of the Time of Nero
