Paul of Tarsus

Paul (born Saul of Tarsus; c. 5 – c. 67), commonly known as Paul the Apostle and Saint Paul, was a Christian apostle (although not one of the original Twelve Apostles) who spread the teachings of Jesus in the first-century world. Generally regarded as one of the most important figures of the Apostolic Age, he founded several Christian communities in Asia Minor and Europe from the mid-40s to the mid-50s AD.

According to the New Testament book Acts of the Apostles, Paul was a Pharisee; he participated in the persecution of early disciples of Jesus, possibly Hellenised diaspora Jews converted to Christianity, in the area of Jerusalem, prior to his conversion. In the narrative of Acts, Paul was traveling on the road from Jerusalem to Damascus on a mission to "arrest them and bring them back to Jerusalem" when the risen Christ appeared to him in a great bright light. He was struck blind, but after three days his sight was restored by Ananias of Damascus and Paul began to preach that Jesus of Nazareth was the Jewish messiah and the Son of God. Approximately half of the Acts of the Apostles deals with Paul's life and works.

Acts of the Apostles

 * As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”
 * And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”
 * Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”
 * So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?”
 * Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

 * Acts 9:3-7, NKJV

 * Indeed I am a man, a Jew having been born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but having been brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, having been trained according to the exactness of the ancestral law, being a zealot of God, even as you all are today. I persecuted this Way as far as death, binding and giving over both men and women to prisons
 * Acts 12:3-4

 * Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.
 * 17:30,31
 * But knowing that the one part consisted of Sadducees, and the other of Pharisees, Paul cried out in the sanhedrin, Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees; I am being judged concerning hope and resurrection of the dead!
 * 23:6
 * Truly, then, all the Jews know my way of life from youth, which from the beginning had been in my nation in Jerusalem, who before knew me from the first, if they will testify, that according to the most exact sect of our religion, I lived a Pharisee. And now for the hope of the promise having been made by God to the fathers, I stand being judged; to which our twelve tribes hope to arrive, worshiping in earnestness night and day, concerning which hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa. “Why is it considered unbelievable among you that God raises up the dead?"
 * 26:4-8
 * However, because I have experienced the help that is from God, I continue to this day bearing witness to both small and great, saying nothing except what the Prophets as well as Moses stated was going to take place that the Christ was to suffer and that as the first to be resurrected from the dead,+ he was going to proclaim light both to this people and to the nations.
 * 26:22-23

Sermon on Mars Hill
(Acts 17:22-31  New American Standard Bible)
 * 22 So Paul stood... and said, “Men of Athens, I see that you are very religious in all respects. 23 For while I was... examining the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription, ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore, what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you. 24 The God who made the world and everything that is in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made by hands; 25 nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; 26 and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth... 27 that they would seek God, if perhaps they might feel around for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; 28 for in Him we live and move and exist...‘For we also are His descendants.’ 29 Therefore, since we are the descendants of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by human skill and thought. 30 So having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now proclaiming to mankind that all people everywhere are to repent, 31 because He has set a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness...

Epistle to the Romans

 * Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
 * Romans, 1:1-6 -

 * What if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yes, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
 * Romans, 3:3-8 -

 * Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.'''
 * Romans 3:19-31

 * Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the Glory of God. Not only so, but we rejoice in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who he has given us
 * Romans 5:1-5

 * For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin. For I do not understand what I am doing. For I do not practice what I wish, but I do what I hate. However, if I do what I do not wish, I agree that the Law is fine. But now I am no longer the one doing it, but it is the sin that resides in me. For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, there dwells nothing good; for I have the desire to do what is fine but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good that I wish, but the bad that I do not wish is what I practice. If, then, I do what I do not wish, I am no longer the one carrying it out, but it is the sin dwelling in me.
 * Romans 7:14-20

 * For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?  But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

 * Romans 8:18-25, ESV

 * I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
 * Romans 11:1

 * O the depth of God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unsearchable his judgments [are] and past tracing out his ways [are]! For “who has come to know Jehovah’s mind, or who has become his counselor?”
 * Romans 11:33, NWT

 * Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
 * Romans 12:2

 * Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
 * Letter to the Romans 13:8

First Epistle to the Corinthians

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
 * Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
 * 1: 17 - 31 (KJV)

 * A physical man does not receive the things of the spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot get to know [them], because they are examined spiritually. However, the spiritual man examines indeed all things, but he himself is not examined by any man.
 * 1 Corinthians 2:14,15

 * If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
 * 1 Corinthians 3:18 (KJV)

 * Every sin which a man does is without the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.
 * 1 Corinthians 6:18

 * Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own.
 * 1 Corinthians 6:19

 * Let the husband render to his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.
 * 1 Corinthians 7:3 (World English Bible)

 * The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
 * 1 Corinthians 7:4 (Catholic Bible Douay-Rehims)

 * Though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
 * I Corinthians 9:22 (KJV)

 * Man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man. And man was not created for the cause of the woman, but the woman for the cause of man; and therefore ought the woman to have a power upon her head.
 * I Corinthians 11:8-10

And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.''' But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man, to profit withal. For to one is given, by the Spirit, the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit; To another, faith by the same Spirit; to another, the gifts of healing, by the same Spirit; To another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, discerning of spirits; to another, divers kinds of tongues; to another, the interpretation of tongues. But all these worketh that one and the self-same Spirit, dividing to every man severally, as he will.
 * '''Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
 * 1 Corinthians 12:4-11

 * Yea, much more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body, are more necessary. And such as we think to be the less honourable members of the body, about these we put more abundant honour; and those that are our uncomely parts, have more abundant comeliness. But our comely parts have no need [...]
 * 1 Corinthians 12:22-24 (as quoted in Catholic Bible Douay-Rehims)

 * Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
 * I Corinthians Ch. 13 (KJV) The word "Charity" is here used as a translation of the Latin Caritas, and the original Greek Agape, which were words for "Love", and used to denote the highest and most self-transcending forms of Love.
 * Variants: Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
 * I Corinthians Ch. 13 (NKJV)
 * If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophesy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes in all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tounges, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing. For we know partially and we prophesy partially, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things. At present, we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known. So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
 * 1 Corinthians Ch. 13 (NASB)
 * Now, there remain faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
 * 1 Corinthians 13:13, New World Translation
 * The three most important things to have are faith, hope and love. But the greatest of them is love.
 * 1 Corinthians 13:13, New International Reader's Version

 * Even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped ? For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle ? So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air.
 * 1 Corinthians 14:7-9 (as quoted in Catholic Bible Douay-Rehims)

 * There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice. If then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I speak a barbarian; and he that speaketh, a barbarian to me.
 * 1 Corinthians 14:10-11 (as quoted in Catholic Bible Douay-Rehims)

 * Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect.
 * 1 Corinthians 14:20 (as quoted in Catholic Bible Douay-Rehims)

 * Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand, by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures; and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve; then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep; then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles; and last of all, as to the [child] untimely born, he appeared to me also. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. Whether then [it be] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised: and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain. Yea, we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised: and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
 * 1 Corinthians 15:1-17 (ASV)

Second Epistle to the Corinthians
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: '''But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.'''
 * Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
 * 2 Corinthians 3:1-16

 * Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.''' But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
 * 2 Corinthians 3: 17-18
 * Variant translations:
 * Jehovah is the Spirit, and where the spirit of Jehovah is, there is freedom.
 * 2 Corinthians 3: 17 NWT

 * At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality.
 * 2 Corinthians 8:14 NIV

Epistle to the Galatians

 * And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age; in my race being much more a zealot of the ancestral traditions of my fathers. But when God was pleased, He having separated me from my mother’s womb, and having called me through His grace, to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the nations, immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood,
 * 1:14-16

 * I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
 * 2:19-20

 * The law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
 * 3:24-25 ESV

Epistle to the Ephesians

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. '''For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.'''
 * And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
 * 2:1-10 (KJV)

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
 * For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
 * 2:14-17 (KJV)
 * Variant translations:
 * For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us. He has abolished the law with its commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new humanity in place of the two, thus making peace
 * 2:14-15 (NRSV)

 * So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
 * 5:28
 * Variant translation:
 * Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
 * Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
 * 6:10 - 20 (KJV)
 * Variant translation:
 * Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Epistle to the Colossians

 * Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
 * Colossians 3:1

Epistle to the Philippians

 * Even though I might have trust in flesh; if any other thinks to trust in flesh, I more; in circumcision, the eighth day, of the race of Israel, the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; according to Law, a Pharisee;
 * Philippians 3: 4-5

 * Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
 * Philippians 4: 6-7 (KJV)
 * Variant translations:
 * Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.

First Epistle to the Thessalonians

 * Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor— not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways.
 * 1 Thessalonians 4:4-5 (as quoted in New Living Translation)

First Epistle to Timothy

 * Who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.
 * 1 Timothy 2:4 (as quoted in World English Bible)

 * And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.
 * 1 Timothy 2:9-10 (as quoted in New Living Translation)

 * For the desire of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting have erred from the faith, and have entangled themselves in many sorrows.
 * 1 Timothy 6:10 (as quoted in Catholic Bible Douay-Rehims)

 * Preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching.
 * 2 Timothy 4:2, as quoted in www.ewtn.com

Epistle to the Hebrews

 * For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And before him no creature is hidden, but all are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
 * Hebrews 4:12-13, as quoted in www.ewtn.com

 * Of whom the world was not worthy [...]
 * Hebrews 11:38 (as quoted in Catholic Bible Douay-Rehims)

 * For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
 * Hebrews 12:11, as quoted in www.ewtn.com

 * Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
 * Hebrews 13:2 (KJV)

Quotes about Paul

 * Though women have always been close to words, they have often been barred from speaking: Saint Paul, in the Holy Scriptures, ordered women to be silent in church, thus censuring their means of public expression...Yet women have continued speaking their minds, often through the sacred language of poetry, where there is an abundance of intuition and the possibility of reclaiming power through language.
 * Marjorie Agosín Introduction to These Are Not Sweet Girls: Poetry by Latin American Women (2000)

 * All of Paul's preaching, all of his theology, is characterised by the process of the collapse of a certain sacred structure, and by the slow discovery of the perspective given by a new focus on Yahweh, the Pauline equivalent of Elijah's still, small voice.
 * James Alison, Faith Beyond Resentment (2001), p. 33

'''
 * The words that Balaam announced were heard by all the inhabitants of the earth, such power did God lend to his voice, for He knew that at some future time there would be a man born of woman who would pass himself for a god and would mislead all the world. Hence God permitted all the world to hear Balaam's words, that said: God is not a man, and the man that passeth himself for God lieth. But he that will mislead the world by declaring that he will disappear for a time and then reappear will promise what he can never fulfil. '''Woe then to that nation that will lend ear to the man who will pass himself for God.
 * Balaam, as quoted in Legend of the Jews: Curses turned to Blessings, (1909)

 * After Jesus had departed, the disciples scattered through the different parts of Israel and of the world, and the truth, hated of Satan, was persecuted, as it always is, by falsehood. For certain evil men, pretending to be disciples, preached that Jesus died and rose not again. Others preached that he really died, but rose again. Others preached, and yet preach, that Jesus is the Son of God, among whom is Paul deceived. But we - as much as I have written - we preach to those that fear God, that they may be saved in the last day of God's Judgment. Amen.
 * Attributed to Saint Barnabas in Gospel of Barnabas (c. 16th century AD manuscript), Ch. 222

 * We must reject the thought of Saint Paul who said, “let the woman marry in silence."
 * Shirley Chisholm, Speech (1972)

 * For St. Paul, the diversity of creation is less important than the unity of the creator. For me, it is the other way round. I do not know or particularly care whether the same God is working all in all. I care deeply for the diversity of his working.
 * Freeman Dyson, Infinite in All Directions (1988) commenting on 1 Corinthians 12:4-6

 * Now as Paul was saying these things in his defense, Festus said in a loud voice: “You are going out of your mind, Paul! Great learning is driving you out of your mind!
 * Festus, Acts 26:24

 * The ninth chapter [of Acts] shows us the new step of sovereign grace in the conversion of Saul to be the witness of an ascended Christ, Who owns the saints as part of Himself, and calls the persecutor to be His chosen vessel to bear His name before Gentiles, kings, and children of Israel, the deepest in truth, the largest in heart, the most abundant in labour of all the apostles. No wonder the gospel of Christ's glory marked him, who first saw and heard the Lord thus; yet a simple disciple baptised him who forthwith, in the synagogues, preached Jesus as the Son of God.
 * William Kelly, God's Inspiration of the Scriptures (1903), §32 : The Acts of the Apostles, pp. 363-364

 * Not disobedient to the heavenly vision, he was standing to this day to the call of God everywhere, which drew on him the hatred of the Jews, yet was it in full accord with what Moses and the prophets said should be. ... Arrived at the great city [ Rome] Paul was suffered to abide by himself with the soldier that guarded him, and after three days called together the chief of the Jews, and explained the strange fact that for the hope of Israel he was a prisoner through Jewish accusation.
 * William Kelly, God's Inspiration of the Scriptures (1903), §32 : The Acts of the Apostles (chap. xxvi & last), p. 374-375

 * A split, the first and probably the most important of many schisms in Christianity, occurred between Jesus' disciples Peter and Paul. Paul, whose original name was Saul, and Peter, who was originally named Simon, were both Jewish. But Paul, unlike Peter, was not one of Jesus' entourage and never knew him. While Peter was a fisherman in Galilee, Paul was a religious scholar from Asia Minor. And yet it was Peter, the fisherman, who wanted the followers of Jesus to remain Jewish and apply Jesus' teaching to the perfection of Judaism. Paul, the Hebraic scholar, wanted to open up Christianity to the world, pursuing converts wherever they were found, a most un-Jewish approach. Under Paul's influence the Christians moved further away from the body of Judaism, further away from everyone. They became an odd and distinct cult on the outer margins of society, uncompromisingly dedicated to pacifism. Even the pious and spartan Jewish sect known as the Essenes did not entirely denounce weapons.
 * Mark Kurlansky, Nonviolence: The History of a Dangerous Idea (2006), ISBN 9780679643357

 * Commenting on Saint Paul's words, “the Spirit [also] helpeth our infirmity...” [Rom 8:26], the great Carmelitan theologian Thomas of Jesus writes: “These words clearly refer to the particular motion or aid of the Holy Spirit, and point to the need we have of it. ... It is the gifts of the Holy Spirit which make the soul promptly docile, entirely free, capable of overcoming difficulties, and wholly occupied with God in prayer and contemplation. This effect can not be produced even by the infused virtue of religion, nor by the theological virtues by themselves." This is as much to say that the life of perfection is an inspired life, and therefore a life which—perhaps in secret—infused contemplation nourishes and sustains.
 * Jacques and Raïssa Maritain, Liturgy and Contemplation (1960), Ch. VI, p. 21

 * Not only did this apostle refuse to recognize the religious differences between the parties of Peter, Apollos, Paul, and Christ, but — what is more important — he showed his converts that in Christ there can be neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female, bond nor free, and that with God there is no respect of persons. Recognizing the diversity of gifts he resisted the ever-present tendency to find in diversity the excuse of division.
 * H. Richard Niebuhr, The Social Sources of Denominationalism (1929)

 * Therefore, beloved, since you await these things, be eager to be found without spot or blemish before [the Lord], at peace. And consider the patience of our Lord as salvation, as our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, also wrote to you, speaking of these things as he does in all his letters. In them there are some things hard to understand that the ignorant and unstable distort to their own destruction, just as they do the other scriptures. Therefore, beloved, since you are forewarned, be on your guard not to be led into the error of the unprincipled and to fall from your own stability. But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
 * Saint Peter, 2 Peter 3:14-18 (c. 64 CE)

 * Sex and marriage occupied far more prominent places in St. Paul's writings than they did in the gospels, and Paul became far and away the most influential authority in shaping early Christian treatments of these issues. Paul treated sexual behavior as one of the major sources of sin. Indeed, he thought that illicit sex was as serious a moral offense as murder. In his writings about sex, Paul developed an implicit theory of sexual sin that distinguished four types of offenders: prostitutes, adulterers, what he called "the softies" (1 Corinthians 6:10), that is people who used sex primarily as a source of pleasure, and men (but perhaps not women, since he did not mention them) who had sex with one another. Marriage in Paul's view, was good, but considerably less good than virginity, for a Christian. He taught that marital sex joined husband and wife together both physically and spiritually. It made them two in one flesh, just as a Christian's spiritual union with Jesus joined two persons in a single spirit. Precisely because martial sex was tinged with the sacred, any type of extramarital sex in Paul's view was worthy of damnation.
 * Women and Gender in Medieval Europe: An Encyclopedia, edited by Margaret Schaus, Routledge, (2006), “Biblical Teaching”, p. 751

 * No sooner had Jesus knocked over the dragon of superstition than Paul boldly set it on its legs again in the name of Jesus.
 * George Bernard Shaw, Androcles and the Lion (1913)

 * Paul was undeniably sincere. He believed that in reinterpreting the Christian faith so as to make it acceptable to the Romans he was doing that faith a service. His make-up was imperial rather than democratic. Both by birth and training he was unfitted to enter into the working-class consciousness of Galileans. He was in culture a Hellenist, in religion a Pharisee, in citizenship a Roman. From the first strain, Hellenism, he received a bias in the direction of philosophy rather than economics; from the second, his Pharisaism, he received a bias toward aloofness, otherworldliness; and from the third, his Romanism, he received a bias toward political acquiescence and the preservation of the status quo.
 * Bouck White, The Call of the Carpenter (1914), p. 227

 * It was the test of loyal citizenship among the Romans to seek out in every part of the world that which was most rare and valued, and bring it back to Rome as a gift. Thus her sons went forth and returned laden with richest trophies to lay at her feet. They brought to her pearls from India, gold chariots from Babylon, elephants from interior Africa, high-breasted virgins from the Greek isles, Phidian marbles from Athens. Paul also would be a bringer of gifts to the Rome that had honored him and his fathers with the high honor of citizenship. And the gift he would bring and lay at her feet would be the richest of them all—a religion.
 * Bouck White, The Call of the Carpenter (1914), p. 229

 * To the Carpenter, with his splendid worldliness, the premier qualification for character was self-respect, and the alertness and mastery of environment which go with self-respect. But to Paul the primate virtue is submissiveness—"the powers that be!" He sought to cure the seditiousness of the working class by drawing off their gaze to a crown of righteousness reserved in heaven for them—a gaseous felicity beyond the stars.
 * Bouck White, The Call of the Carpenter (1914), p. 237

 * A good degree of the anger of the high-status Corinthians with Paul seems to have come from his refusal of patronage. ... To accept patronage would place an obstacle in the way of the gospel of free grace, for it would mean he was not offering it free of charge. ... Paul wanted to be free to identify with people up and down the social ladder, and working with his hands was one way to identify with those considered by the upper echelon of society to be "less honorable" or "weak."

Talk:Fire Emblem

I highly recommend that you at least add one Ashnard quote, there were certainly some classics from him, may I suggest the battle conversation between him and Ike, in which he reinstates his elitist ideaologies after his defeat. Actually, I think most of the most memorable quotes are spouted from Ashnard, The Black Knight, and Petrine, so I suggest that one may add these in the future.

- Probably my favorite quote and, imo, one of the most memorable quotes from the entire game. I was surprised it wasn't there already, so I added it. I've never edited wikiquote before, so if I did something wrong, just let me know (though judging by the tag at the top no one's quite sure how to set this page up yet) 129.21.28.3 02:49, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Uncle Sam (Vertigo)

Uncle Sam (1997) is a two-issue limited comic book series written by Steve Darnall and painted by Alex Ross, also published as a "graphic novel" in 1998. It presents the story of a wandering vagrant, who might be the national personification of the United States, Uncle Sam, having disturbing visions of events in American history, and ultimately confronting a dark, corrupt, shadow or faux version of himself. ISBN 1563894823
 * Note: Quotations are presented sequentially: all thoughts of Sam are presented in italics, without a character-specifying suffix; all spoken statements of characters are in dialogue format. Titled sections have been created for different scenes, but there are no titled divisions in the actual work.

Part one

 * There are 200 million stories in the naked village. This is all of them.
 * This line, like many in the work, is a mutation of a well known phrase. It derives from the last line in the film The Naked City (1948) : "There are eight million stories in the Naked City; this has been one of them."

Moments...

 * I sometimes remember a lot of things. The stench of Buffalo Bill's costume. The bloody blanket that carried Abe Lincoln out of Ford Theatre. Alabaster cities undimmed by human tears and good wars and new frontiers and amber waves of grain and better things for better living through chemistry. And a woman in a long gown. And the Alamo and Pearl Harbor...

 * Some of the voices in my head are muffled. They're wrapped in the flag. But pull the flag away and the words don't make sense... Suddenly the words stink of treachery. This street stinks of sulfur and urine and truck exhaust and chemical refineries. I'm tired and afraid and I don't know who I am. There are moments when I find myself... seeing things. And there are moments when everything happens at once. And then the whole nation comes into my view. For one brief stinking moment. I feel sick.

 * A nation cries. It's like they're crying to me.

 * I want to find some connection between the unconnected moments... want to say something magical and profound.
 * Sam: [sings "Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries"] "Life is just a bowl of cherries, don't take it serious, its too mysterious..."
 * I'm real hungry.

The American Revolution

 * Vision of Sam preparing to join the Revolutionary War forces of George Washington.

 * Sam: I know what you're saying Bea. I pray this war will make us better... All I know is I can't let it make things worse...
 * Bea: You'll come back to me Sam. You always come back to me.

 * Bare feet on a city street. That's not good for running. ... This morning, I beat up a man in a hotel restaurant. This afternoon I was married, lived on a farm and fought in the Revolutionary War. I don't know. Something about that seems off. But that woman — she was important to me. I know her. Or I did...

JFK in Dallas

 * Vision of the assasination of John F. Kennedy

 * What's going on. Something's different here. These are not my eyes. This is not my beautiful wife... [Thoughts of Sam while seeing Jacqueline Kennedy sitting at his side in an opened-top convertible.]

 * Everybody's got to aim for something. Do you believe in magic?

 * Ask not what your country's done for you... Ask what you're country's done to you.

 * I've ridden that car so often, from every point of view. And every time, I never see what's coming. Whenever I think I've found a memory that belongs to me — I wake up face down on the sidewalk. I feel like I've been walking these streets for — I don't know. Forever. I sometimes think I'm waiting for someone to explain it all to me.

ONLY YOU

 * I remember that a man came here from — was it Ireland or Lithuania or China or Italy or Germany or Russia? That's Right. So he and his wife and children (did he have children? I get so confused) found themselves living in a land that promised liberty and justice for all. The family worked ten or twelve hours a day, in a coal mine or textile mill or meat-packing plant or wherever it was, working hard at being Good Americans. Course if they got TB or went blind or accidentally cut off a finger, they were told they weren't very good Americans at all. And slowly over many years, the people realized they were not citizens, they were not members of a community. They were clocking in and punching out and killing time. They were employees. I try to recall that family's name. Then I remember it was a lot of names. I walk past a country that's covered in equal parts dirt and despair.

 * There are times when out of nowhere I start replaying old conversations. Of course they aren't my conversations. Maybe I'm a real good listener. That would explain it, I guess. These people would probably tell you that they're Good Americans. ... But their words... suggest otherwise. ...
 * Image in darkness: Truth-telling has to be kept within narrow limits if trouble is to be avoided. Greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself.
 * Was money always more important than shame?

 * How many roads can a man walk down — — before you call him fatigued.

All-American Antiques

 * At the All-American Antiques shop

 * There oughtta be something in here that can help me. Someone. What's the matter with me today? My gosh. This place has everything. I think I had everything once. I don't think it helped...

 * The Indians were real, as I recall. I remember Andy Jackson's secratary of state explaining, "We must frequently promote their interest against their inclinations." Great White Father knows best.

Black Hawk's War

 * Vision of Illinois in 1832, and of Chief Black Hawk after the massacre of the Battle of Bad Axe.

 * Soldier 1: They raised a white flag.
 * Soldier 2: Thought they could decoy us.
 * Soldier 1: We were a little to clever for them!

 * Black Hawk: An Indian who is as bad as the white men could not live in our nation. He would be put to death, and eaten by wolves. The white men do not scalp the head. They do worse. They poison the heart.

 * I didn't open fire on this man and his tribe. But I let it happen. Whoever I am, I know that...

 * Black Hawk: The only promise you kept was the promise to take away our land. That promise was no problem. You ought to be careful who you call savages.

Black lawn jockey

 * Lawn jockey: Recognize him? His name is Amédé Ardoin. He played the accordion. People who heard him play and sing say they never heard anything so beautiful. One night in Louisiana, he was performing at a dance. It was a humid night — being summer in Louisiana and all — and a white woman lent her handkerchief to Amédé to wipe the sweat from his face. Her courtesy was witnessed by a handful of white men. By the time they had finished with him, Amédé had been beaten so thoroughly that he couldn't remember who he was. You know what's funny about this? It could have been worse...

 * Lawn jockey: Ever see a lynching? I mean up close? ... Sometimes before a lynchng, the mob would cut off their victims fingers and ears and pass them around. Other times they'd use corkscrews. And everytime time the corkscrews came out, a piece of flesh came out with them...

 * Sam: Why are you telling me this?
 * Lawn jockey: Because you need to know! That's why! Because you have a tendency to forget these things...

 * Sam [sings "The Bonnie Blue Flag"]: "We are a band of brothers and native to the soil Fighting for our Liberty, With treasure, blood and toil..."
 * Some refrains you never forget. Some wounds you never close...

Andersonville

 * Vision of Andersonville prison

 * When this bloody war is over, only one set of prayers will have been heard. The other side will live under the shadow of conquest — and every Johnny Reb and every Damnyankee will be told to forget the last four years ever happened. You remember firing on Fort Sumter? You remember burning Atlanta? Hey forget it! We're a nation again! I have never felt so useless...

City streets

 * Sam: Excuse me, Miss. I don't mean to bother you but I've been out here for the longest time and I don't know who I am for sure and my shoes got stolen and I've been talking to cigar store Indians and they've been talking back and — It seems like everything's happened at once.
 * Woman: Jesus! I am so sick of that story!
 * I can't hear what she's saying. No — I can — only now I hear a lot of other things...

 * Sam: "Society is produced by our wants and government by our wickedness." "The first is a patron — the last is a punisher." What's wrong with all of you?! Don't you understand Common Sense? These are the times that try men's — soles...
 * Sam sees some boots in a trash bin, as he was quoting Thomas Paine.

Dust Bowl

 * Vision of the Dust Bowl years

 * We tried to cover our faces with our shirt sleeves, but it did no good. Our sleeves turned brown and we kept eating dirt. We'd go into coughing fits and start spitting up mud...

Victory rally

 * Witnessing the triumph of the Senatorial campaign of "Louis Cannon"

 * My heart feels like a bomb in my chest. The band is playing "Stars and Stripes Forever." It's ragged and underrehearsed and frighteningly moving... There. That's him. That's the Uncle Sam I remember. The great Arsenal of Democracy...

 * There's something — off here. There's no joy in this applause. There's no conviction that these folks're making their nation a better place. They're acting like they've seen crowds act on television.

 * [Sam hears a victory speech other than the one which the audience is hearing...]

 * Louis Cannon: We proved that a grown man, claiming he represented the people of his home state, would drop his pants and bend over for any corporation with a lobbyist and a checkbook! More important... We proved that we could write laws that would directly benefit those corporations at the expense of the less affluent... and vote that into legislation without letting the public know.

 * Louis Cannon: We couldn't have done it without the slickly-assembled attack ads that distorted my opponents record and cast doubt on his personal behavior... or the major news media, whom we routinely intimidated by calling them "liberal"... But most of all we couldn't have done it without you, the people of this great state! You cynical, apathetic, ignorant, beaten-down sheep! If there is one thing that I've learned about you, the American people — it's that you — fear change!

 * Louis Cannon: You know there are some people who have nothing better to do than tear down this great nation that you believe in! But during my years in the Senate, I've learned one important thing... with enough time and money, you can manipulate people into accepting just about anything!
 * Sam [as audience applauds]: What are you doing? What's the matter with you? Do you even hear what he's saying?
 * Dear God. What if they do?! ... This has to stop. These people have to hear what I hear. All of it...

Jail

 * Sam: I'm Uncle Sam.
 * Cell-mate: Oh. Really.
 * Sam: That one at the rally? He's a fake ... He's still out there. There's a man out there wearing my clothes. But he's a fake! He's got to be stopped!!

 * In this land of the free, this home of the brave... were we only slaves of fear? ... Give me Liberty or — — give me death.
 * Part 1 closes with this quote of Patrick Henry, and Sam having visions of the blood of patriot heroes staining the jail-cell walls and his clothes.

Yankee Doodle

 * Part 2 opens with a vision of Sam as the drummer of Yankee Doodle (The Spirit of '76)

 * This feels good. It feels right. ... There's something invigorating about the potential of fighting a good fight. Led by words few men before had even dared to think. "Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of those ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it..."
 * Sam is here quoting Thomas Jefferson's words in the US Declaration of Independence.

 * I have a dream. It's a good dream... But it's all I have.

 * I'm on a cell block floor sitting in my own filth. I saw a malevolent callous creature calling himself the spirit of America. I attacked him and ran into a wooden stilt...

 * Whenever I'm in a place like this, I hear the prayers of Martin Luther King and Sacco and Vanzetti and Joe Hill and the Scottsboro Nine and I think of the Land of the Free — and how it locked down so many spirits.

 * There are those who insist that criminals don't come from poverty or abuse. That some people are just born that way. But when crime increases — their only solution is to build more jails. And when the jails are built — they discover more and more people who are just born that way. I can't let them keep me here.

 * Police Captain: The Senator's got enough people who think he's a heartless bastard. The last thing he wants to do is press charges against some old nut. Let him run. Let the old boy have his glory — it doesn't look like he'll get many more chances.

Britannia

 * Vision of Britannia in a deserted alley.

 * Britannia: You thought you had everything under control. ... I felt that way too, dear. ... I used to think the sun never set on me... Of course I fell rather a long time ago. The world was — well, it was quieter then, wasn't it? Now when you fall —? Well, its going to make what I went through look like a bloody cricket match.

 * Sam: Do you know who you're talking to?
 * Britannia: I think so. Do you know who I'm talking to?
 * Nuts. She's got me there.

 * Britannia: I knew the world was ready for me to tame it. Just like you did. ... I learned the hard way that if you have to become a world power through conquest... you become the very tyrant you rebelled against.

 * Teenager [who with other teens had poured gasoline on Sam while he was sleeping, and then set him on fire]: Hey — s-shouldn't he be burning?
 * This is the dream. All one big dream. The American Dream... Then comes the wake-up call...

 * These attacks... like a needle... unraveling my spine. How much time has gone by? Why am I being punished like this?

Shays' Rebellion

 * Vision of Shays' Rebellion and other episodes of civil unrest.

 * I'm afraid. ... I'm afraid Shays and his men and his men might be here for blood. ... Everyone I've been told to trust insists we're here — because the union must be preserved. ... All at once its militia men in 1786, and Chicago policemen in 1886... and National Guardsmen in 1970... and a dozen other times — when I let terror pull the trigger.

 * My God... It's true. The dream isn't failing — it was never allowed to succeed. This was the real shot heard 'round the world... and I fired it.

 * Sam [to a sleeping derelict]: Son, whoever you are — whenever this is — I'm sorry.

Columbian Exposition

 * Vision of the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 and of Columbia herself, enthroned on the ship of state.

 * Columbia: It's me, Sam. It's always been me. I didn't mean to confuse you. I thought it was better to find out for yourself. ... Climb aboard, Sam. Let's see how the future used to look. ... That's the world's biggest cannon. One hundred and twenty-seven tons. The shadow in the City of Light. People called it "The Herald of Peace." Seriously. This was a festival of Light and Hope and Achievement. A year later the whole thing came down. Except for the world's biggest cannon. This was my show, Sam. This was my future...

 * Sam: Bea, I saw a — figure at a parade. He said — he said he was the spirit of America...
 * Columbia: He is. Get ready. There's some roughness ahead... America had two options. Either correct our mistakes and learn from them... or live behind a wall held together by cynicism and brute force and deny everything. Trouble is they couldn't deny you. You were the spirit of America. So they simply channeled their energies elsewhere. And they remade you in their image. That spirit is part of you, Sam — just as you're part of all those people you remember.

 * Columbia: Look, if you want me to hold your hand and say you never screwed up, forget it. I think you did. But you have to remember what else came out of that bloodshed. It forced law-makers to replace the Articles of Confederaton. It forced them to make these united states into a nation. "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union..."

 * The sky is clearing — finally.

 * Columbia: That constitution wasn't perfect, of course. I know because I tried to vote in 1880. But we were allowed to change it... maybe even improve it. And if America sometimes fouled up along the way — and it did — that was the fault of the dreamers. It wasn't the fault of the dream.

The Others

 * The Russian Bear in this scene wears a Soviet cap and its speech is presented in a lettering style designed to evoke Cyrillic script. No attempt to imitate it is made here.

 * Russian Bear: Do you think you're the only symbol who was meant to stand for one thing — and was perverted into something else? Sam. Please listen. You are about to confront something that you think you understand. You don't. You cannot win the battle the old way. This foe knows our dark strategies. He'll use them against you. He'll use them against anyone.

 * Britannia: Don't you understand Sam? You're not the spirit of a nation. You're a spirit of freedom. You're the result of a very chancy experiment...

 * Sam: You make it sound like — like so much is at stake.
 * Britannia: Not every experiment succeeds. Look at Marianne... Believe it or not, Sam, she was luckier than most. She had five whole years of "Liberty, Fraternity, Equality." Then bang — it was off to the Reign of Terror. ... It's easier to live with fear than to work for freedom, Sam — but the eyes of the world are still upon you. Waiting to see what you do.

 * Sam: Where are you going? What happens next?
 * Britannia: That's the beauty of freedom Sam. You never know what happens next. And the only way to know how freedom works —
 * — is to work at it.

Sam vs Sam

 * Out of one fog and into another. Typical. Wait. Not fog. A smokescreen. The voices are louder — shriller — more desperate...

 * Faux Sam: Yes?! Have you been helped?! Oh, it's you. Listen, this isn't a good time. See, I'm ending welfare as we know it by building a bridge to the twenty-first century. Very busy. Why don't you just go back into your cardboard box, okay?
 * Sam: I — I came to get my hat.
 * Faux Sam: Excuse me?!? A grubby old bastard covered in urine and birdshit?! You're the spirit of America?! Go to bed, old man!

 * Faux Sam: See, you had a good thing going. You had genocide, racism, sexism, organized crime, the occasional flirtation with imperialism... and all that while, you told people we were the greatest nation on Earth. I mean, wow! That's impressive! But you couldn't handle it could you? You couldn't handle the truth! I love that line!

 * Sam: I won't deny that mistakes were made. Even if the history textbooks do. But I won't pretend that mistakes never happened. And once in a while — sometimes very slowly — we made some progress. I tried my best to make people take pride in facing problems. You're telling them to take pride in ignoring problems. What you've got here, son — it's all vanity. It's a big advertisement for a product that doesn't exist. You are the spirit of a nation. But it's not America.

 * Sam: If you want a fight you'll get one. But first I want you to know something — whatever happens here, whatever the outcome is — you're not America. You'll never be America.

 * It's a strange and frightening thing — to see yourself at your worst.

 * Sam [finding his hat on the sidewalk, disregarding the dollar bill that had been placed in it]: Well. What do you know.
 * Still fits.

 * Sam [sings "Yankee Doodle"]: "Yankee Doodle, keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy..."

Quotes about Uncle Sam

 * Steve Darnall and Alex Ross find Uncle Sam out on the street, help him to his feet and send him off to confront those who believe that they alone speak for the founding fathers. A timely idea, brilliantly executed.
 * Billy Bragg, as quoted at AlexRossArt.com
 * This truly subversive graphic novel — more explicitly radical than anything else from DC Comics in recent memory ... a damning account of American political history that also affirms basic democratic ideals.
 * Kirkus Reviews
 * If there’s a thrill here, it’s not that the United States can be junked, but that it can’t be. Everything you ever believed in may go up in smoke, and in Uncle Sam, that smoke is the air you breathe...
 * Greil Marcus in The New York Times
 * An old man lies crumpled on the sidewalk: he has thin white hair and a long white goatee. He's dressed in a black coat and red and white striped trousers. People pass on by. There's a fly on the old man's forehead. His left arm is stretched out, his fingers curled like a beggar's, but he looks you right in the face. His angry eyes says he lies on the pavement not to ask you for what you've got but to ask you how you got it. He might be a bum, he might be a judge; as you follow his story you keep changing your mind...
 * Greil Marcus in the introduction to the 1998 "graphic novel" edition.
 * Uncle Sam is probably the most thoughtfully radical piece of truly popular culture I’ve seen in the last decade or two. Frighteningly intense and ... also sad in the most eloquent way, patriotic in all the ways that mattered, to all the things that one might justifiably be patriotic to.
 * Dave Marsh, as quoted at AlexRossArt.com
 * The most eloquent use of a superhuman archetype for a great many years, Darnall and Ross have with Uncle Sam produced a luminous and moving study of America's iconographic landscape, at once an indictment and a reclamation of the nation's oldest and most venerable symbol. As a portrait of a fond American dream at last waking to itself, Uncle Sam is genuinely inspiring and deserves to be read more than once. Highly recommended.
 * Alan Moore, endorsement blurb on the graphic novel edition.
 * An immensely powerful piece of work: a demonstration of the artistic and political potential of the medium.
 * Charles Shaar Murray, in The Independent [U.K.]

These quotes are mostly doubtful, as Rabelais never wrote a Book V --just four books. I was unable to find the alleged (English) quotes in their alleged locations. The true sources are:
 * Book I: Pantagruel
 * Book II: Gargantua
 * Book III: le tiers-livre
 * Book IV: Le quart-livre

Until the original French text can be located and quoted, I've marked them as merely "attributed". Urhixidur 01:00, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Uncle Sam
I'm not really sure what this is, but it seems like something original, as I didn't find anything in Google on searches on various parts of this. —LrdChaos (talk) 01:35, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep per Kalki and Jeff.  Cbrown1023  talk  22:55, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 *  Delete Keep from Uncle Sam (comics), perhaps? Though this sounds like something from a satirical novel. Or a blog. Koweja 10:52, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete . ~ UDScott 15:10, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, now that the page has been improved. ~ UDScott 21:31, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry guys. I'm sorta new at this. It's from Uncle Sam, the graphic novel by Steve Darnell and Alex Ross, it's an exact quote. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sherminator132 (talk • contribs) 22:51, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, everyone's new sometime. Thanks to your info, I've added an adapted intro from Uncle Sam (comics), as well as some links, a category, and a cleanup tag. The cleanup message includes a link to our templates page (as in formatting, not wiki-templates) to see how quotes can be formatted. Comics present a bit of a challenge, especially for long excerpts. I'm not sure how to advise you on this, not having seen the original. As it stands, it's hard to tell if your quote is a monolog or dialog, and it does not follow English capitalization practices. (I assume the original is written in all-caps, as comics tend to be.) Can you specify exactly what issue and what page(s) this quote is from? We need sources to allow readers to verify quotes, and this might help me find a copy to review to consider how we can properly represent such a passage. Thanks. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:29, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: If Sherminator132 can get the edition from which this is taken, then this is worth keeping: DC Comics are a long established company. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 10:42, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment: Well, The whole thing is a monologue, with himself. I'll get you all the publishing information, page numbers and whatnot later today. sherminator132
 * If you can get it before 23:00 UTC today, I can probably check this out at a comics store shortly after that. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment: Here's the link to amazons page on it. Sorry that I couldn't do some more work, but i'm insanely busy right now. Good Luck! http://www.amazon.com/Uncle-Sam-Steve-Darnall/dp/1563894823/sr=8-2/qid=1171586186/ref=pd_bbs_2/002-0423686-6311252?ie=UTF8&s=books  sherminator132
 * Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I can't find a copy of this book anywhere in my local libraries, comics stores, or booksellers. The Library of Congress doesn't have a copy, either, although it has another work by Darnall, a 2-volume 1997 work titled U.S.: Uncle Sam. The biblio record doesn't suggest whether it's an earlier edition of the desired book or a different compilation of the comic series that wouldn't have the quote we're after. I'm not sure I'll be able to get down there in the near future to find out. I would highly recommend that, if possible, you find the page(s) for this quote and cite it/them as a source. We have a tendency here to delete hard-to-verify articles that don't at least provide a single well-sourced quote to give us a reasonable hope for a proper article. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:12, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep: I do have a copy of the hardback edtion of this work, and just found it. I might try to add a few more quotes and info to the article within the next week. (I have an extensive collection of books, but not a very well organized one. I'm not having much luck at locating any of my copies of Giordano Bruno's works, which I had hoped to find for today). ~ Kalki 20:32, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep now. Thanks, Kalki! Could I also ask that you reformat the monolog into something a little closer to a Wikiquote style? I maintain that, like Bartlett's and other professional quote compilations, Wikiquote need not attempt to convey the exact original style of a quote to present what we care about, the idea as expressed in words. This is especially true when our medium is almost as limited as the books, as long as we hope to hew to the wiki philosophy of anyone (not just page-display experts) editing. Thus we don't use all-caps for comics (already handled here), and thus we should present the current quote at most as a set of properly mostly-uncapitalized paragraphs, if not just the sentences themselves in a single paragraph. (I think attempting to paragraph-ize a strip is essentially engaging in unsourced original research, so our best best would be to make it a single, unformatted, WQ-standard bullet.) I'd do it myself, but without the original work in front of me, I can't tell if any variances from this simple idea are reasonable based on the original presentation. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:46, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I'm not sure how notable this is, but I can't see good reasons for deletion so would err on the side of retention.--Poetlister 22:47, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment: I did finally get around to editing the article and am rather proud of the work I did. Definitely a Strong Keep now. ~ Kalki 21:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. - InvisibleSun 21:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Pita-Ten

 (Japanese: ぴたテン Hepburn: Pitaten?) is a Japanese manga by. It was serialized in Dengeki Comic Gao! between the October 1999 and August 2003 issues and was later collected into eight tankōbon volumes.

Please note that these are rough translations of the Japanese dialect. Quotes from the manga are from TOKYOPOP's translation of the Pita-Ten manga.

Koboshi Uematsu
Anime

 * "That's right. I'm not losing to Misha-san. My bond with Kotaro-chan is even stronger THAN THOSE INSTANT GLUUEESS!!"

 * "I'm burning! Burning! Waaaaaaah, burning up!!"

 * "Ten-chan, how impolite! This is a situation in which you're supposed to at least lie!"

Manga

 * "It's not everyday that your heart gets broken..."

 * "Ever since Misha-san came along, Kotarou-chan has been alot warmer.... and I know he cares for Shia-san... as he would his mom. Sad thing is I'd probably never be like those two. But I don't care! I still wanna be with him... because someday I might be able to do something for him..."

Hiroshi Mitarai
Anime

 * (after Misha flings off her shoe and it hits him in the nose) "She's......so.....beautiful... like an.....an...gel..." (falls over)

Manga
 * "IT HURTS!!"

 * "Thailand is in our hearts lalalalala...."

Kaoru Mitarai
Anime

 * "Ara, Kaoru is always calm. Nya, nya nya!"

 * "Prepare yourself, Ayanakouji! For the sake of my brother, KAORU WILL TURN INTO A DEMON!!" (at the time she didn't know who really Ayanokouji was...)

Manga

 * "I shall avenge my brother's shame! Death to the transeggor!"

Shia

Misha

 * "Kotaro-kun seems to be feeling extra well today. Let's go -su!"

 * "That seems like it hurts -su!"

 * "Fight! Fight! Kotaro-kun!"

Manga

 * "An angel's job is to seek happiness on humans without wanting anything in return... and they help by nudging humans in the right direction toward happiness -su!"

 * "Kotaro-kun..(stop yellin') They're my wings. I can't help but have 'em. They might not be all great at times but I like them."

Kotaro Higuchi

 * "They cut it off like this!"

 * "It's not like I'm scared or anything really."

 * "ME?!"

 * "I was just enjoying that moment... and I yet at the time I was realizing my feelings for her."

 * "Why... why do I feel so relieved?"

Manga

 * "I never knew there could be so many 'mes'... until the 'su-girl' came into my life."

 * "You have gotten your wish..... you became a real angel."

Takashi Ayanokouji

 * "In love with a demon... what's wrong with me?"

 * "I'm not letting you insult Shia-san like that!"

Manga

Nya
Anime

 * "An angel and demon friendship... this could be the end of the world -nya."

Koboshi: (carefreeness) "I'm always well!     Ten-chan: "Oh, right. If you were depressed from the teacher yelling at you, you'd be depressed every day! Koboshi: "Ten-chan!? What did you mean by that?" Ten-chan: "I meant what I said."
 * Koboshi: "That's right. I'm not losing to Misha-san! Kotaro-chan and I are much closer!"

Shia: (while poking Kotaro with the staff) "I'm causing great pain." Nya: "No, you're just giving him a massage! You're supposed to do it like this! (stomping foot repeatingly)
 * Nya: "What are you doing?"

Misha: "I heard that if you make a wish under a giant waterfall... den it'll come truey-woo! I wish that Kotaro-kun does well on his testy-westie -su!" Kotaro: "I'll make that wish come true... by studying really hard."

The images listed below are prohibited by technical means from being displayed inline in articles. The format is as follows: Only list items (lines starting with "*") are considered. The first link on a line must be the link to the high-risk image. It is recommended that you use an initial colon in this link, so people can view this page without seeing all the restricted images. Any subsequent links on the same line are exceptions, i.e. articles where that image is allowed to be displayed inline. Text outside of links is ignored and can be used for comments. Piped links cannot be used. Please check the spelling of potential duplicate images before removing.

Put Badimage on the image talk page to advise users that they can ask for the image to be allowed on other legitimate articles (that is, to expand the except list for it). When removing deleted images, double-check that the relevant image talk page has been deleted as well.

For performance reasons, please try to keep this page fairly short, say less than 10 KB.

Featuritis

Featuritis, Creeping featurism or the spoonerism Feeping Creaturism, is a term used to describe software which over-emphasizes new features to the detriment of other design goals, such as simplicity, compactness, stability, or bug reduction.

Sourced

 * Requests for specialized facilities and minor notational improvements are very common. When provided, they rarely fail to win applause. After all, if a feature is a direct solution to a problem and doesn’t significantly interact with other facilities, it is easy to explain, often easy to implement, and typically has a logically minimal expression leading to very concise pieces of code. People comparing languages using lists love such features. The snag is that the problems we face are essentially infinite, so we need an infinity of such specialized features.
 * Bjarne Stroustrup. "The Design of C++0x". C++ User's Journal, May 2005.

 * The term "creeping featurism" was used in a 1976 Programmer's Workbench paper written by John Mashey, and in a talk by him first done in 1977, and later gave (as an ACM National Lecture) about 50-70 times through 1982. The original foils were scanned in 2002, and the phrase is used on Slide 033 within the talk. Mashey says "I can't recall if I actually coined this myself or heard it somewhere, but in any case, the phrase was certainly in public use by 1976."
