Quote by Ronald Reagan

Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.

Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the belief that democracy cannot be sustained in the absence of faith in God. It suggests that a moral foundation, rooted in religious principles, is necessary for the longevity and stability of democratic systems. The reliance on God's principles, values, and guidance is seen as essential for individuals to make just and equitable decisions within a democratic society. Without this spiritual foundation, the quote implies that democracy may face the risk of moral decay, leading to instability and potential downfall.

Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
