 True?

Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom? Material abundance without character is the surest way to destruction.

Samuel 1:  Then Samuel, with the horn of oil in hand, anointed David in the presence of his brothers; and from that day on, the spirit of the LORD rushed upon David.
Ephesians 5:  Live as children of light, for light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth.
John 9:  “You have seen him, and the one speaking with you is he.” He said, “I do believe, Lord,” and he worshiped him.

Friendship is one of the treasures of life that cannot be bought. It can only be cultivated. It must be earned. It must be tended. It is impossible to have a good friend without being one ourselves.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
