"If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever."
"The Church has ever proved indestructible. Her persecutors have failed to destroy her; in fact, it is during time of persecution that the Church grows more and more, while the persecutors themselves and those whom the Church would to destroy, are the very ones who come to nothing."
The Church has always prevailed. The Church WILL always prevail.
The Church has always prevailed. The Church WILL always prevail.
