β€œA man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride.”

~C.S. Lewis

Whatever a man desires and adores, that is his god. The god of the avaricious is gold; the god of the proud is honor, the god of the glutton is his belly; the god of the unchaste his own lusts.

If any one makes light of the law or the prophets, which Christ fulfilled at His coming, let him be to thee as antichrist. If any one says that the Lord is a mere man, he is a Jew, a murderer of Christ.

-St. Ignatius of Antioch
"blood and soil" was the natural impulse of aristocracy. Don't let bad connotations throw out an important moral truth. Be an aristocrat in spirit.

"It was not unusual for a landed proprietor [i.e., aristocrat] to plant trees in his park that would not mature for more than a century. He was laying down pleasure for the eye and money in the bank for his great-great-grandson. Longintunidal sinews ran through aristocracies preserved in family memories that directly shaped the way aristocracies conducted themselves, and it is what distinguished them from plutocracies, military junta, and meritocracies."

Ellis Wasson
It has often given my pleasure to observe, that independent America was not composed of detached and distant territories, but that one connected fertile, wide-spreading country was the portion of our western sons of liberty.

(……..)

that Providence has been pleased to give us this one connected country to one united people -a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by they their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence.

George Washington on Thanksgiving:

It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor
There’s no in-between or half-hearted approach to combating lust. If you don’t confront your sin, you’re tolerating it.
