Tertullian on Barack Obama
>> Monday, January 19, 2009 –
Inauguration Day,
President Obama
"We respect in the emperors the ordinance of God, who has set them over the nations. We know that there is that in them which God has willed; and to what God has willed, we desire all safety."
Tertullian, The Apology
May God bless our new president Barack Obama.
This is a perfect quote for the occasion. Leave it to Juliet to come up with a wise quote from the tomes of history and philosophy while the rest of the world cheers and bickers. :D
