When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber. -- Winston Churchill
"To remain silent when they should protest makes cowards of men." -- Thomas Jefferson
This is what the LORD says to you: `Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's. -- II Chronicles 20:15
"...who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?” ... Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. ... all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give you into our hands.” -- from I Samuel 17
