“When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.”
Bible
“When a nation goes down, or a society perishes, one condition may always be found; they forgot where they came from. They lost sight of what had brought them along.”
Carl Sandburg
“Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him. (Psalms 2:12)”
“Truth is not always the best basis for happiness. There are people who perish when their eyes are opened.”
Wilhelm Stekel
“Can an ass be tragic? To perish under a burden one can neither bear nor throw off? The case of the philosopher.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“But I can tell you what I believe: When tens of thousands of innocent souls have perished in Darfur-when 11 million children are without health insurance-when our colossal debt subjects our economic future to the whims of Asian bankers-no one can tell me that faith demands this Senate spend its time arguing over a handful of judges. No one with those priorities can use my faith to intimidate me.”
Senator John Kerry
“For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.”
