“A doctor who is not a believer is always a frustrated doctor. The most advanced techniques, the most advanced medicines, are always met at the exit by the ironic laughter of death; on the other hand, the believer says no to death,” he said.

Wise words from a holy man.

"Wider den Tod ist kein Krautlein gewachsen." No herb that grows will defend against death.

Except for the Rose of Sharon. Thank goodness.

The left believes that fetal tissue research will keep them alive forever. They deep down fear the wrath of Whom they do not believe exists.

Whittaker Chambers liked to quote this wonderfully Germanic maxim. It is certainly appropriate to Terri, who was long kept in slavery, and who, indeed, in her last years was never even allowed to sit in the sun.

Der Gott, der Eisen wachsen ließ,
Der wollte keine Knechte...

It doesn't quite translate, but "The God Who let the iron grow: He wanted no slaves."

The whole hymn (if one may call it that) is HERE
