Amazing Grace

One of my new heros is William Wilberforce and one of my new favorite movies is "Amazing Grace".
I though I would share some quotes with you all, feel free to sit and relax while I share.

John Newton: [reciting his song] "I once was blind but now I see". Didn't I write that?
William Wilberforce: Yes, you did.
John Newton: Now at last it's true

John Newton: Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly. I'm a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.

Barbara Wilberforce: It seems to me, that if there is a bad taste in your mouth, you spit it out. You don't constantly swallow it back.
Pitt the Younger: As your Prime Minister, I urge you caution
William Wilberforce: And as my friend?
Pitt the Younger: To hell with caution.

 

 

 

Now words from the hero~

 

 

"Accustom yourself to look first to the dreadful consequences of failure; then fix your eye on the glorious prize which is before you; and when your strength begins to fail, and your spirits are well nigh exhausted, let the animating view rekindle your resolution, and call forth in renewed vigour the fainting energies of your soul."
— William Wilberforce 

 

“Can you tell a plain man the road to heaven? Certainly, turn at once to the right, then go straight forward.”

I'm reading some of his speeches on "Real Christianity".

Good day all!
