"Unfaithfulness in public stations is deeply criminal. But there is no encouragement to be faithful. Neither profit, nor honor, nor applause is acquired by faithfulness...There is too much corruption, even in this infant age of our Republic.
Virtue is not in fashion. Vice is not infamous."
~John Adams~
"...and there is nothing new under the sun."
Ecclesiastes 1:9
Jeremiah 17:9
ReplyDelete"But there is no encouragement to be faithful. Neither profit, nor honor, nor applause is acquired by faithfulness." That is so true. But the consequences of being UNfaithful are heavy and far-reaching.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most powerful quotes anyone has ever made in the history of our country. We should and must use it much more often. Thanks, Hannahbelle, for bringing it again to our attention.
