"People who cannot restrain their own baser instincts, who cannot treat one another with civility, are not capable of self-government ... without virtue, a society can be ruled only by fear, a truth that tyrants understand all too well."
- Chuck Colson
"It is not our business to make the message acceptable, but to make it available. We are not to see that they like it, but that they get it."
- Vance Havner
