Quotes to consider this election season

From the blog WI Catholic Musings, where I found the letter from Holocaust survivor Lori Kalner, here are some quotes that we should all ponder as we head toward Tuesday's elections.

"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
—George Santayana

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
—Edmund Burke

"Better be despised for too anxious apprehensions, than ruined by too confident security."
—Edmund Burke

And one more quote—this time from the wisest man in the history of the world, King Solomon:

Proverbs 21:1   The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will.
