Maker Quotes - page 8
In former times, when the honor of work had some hold upon us, it was the practice of a maker to give his name to the product ... But, as finance capitalism grew and men and property separated, a significant change occurred in names: the new designations shed all connection with the individual and become "General,” "Standard,” "International,” "American.”.
Richard Weaver
... indeed what reason may not go to Schoole to the wisdome of Bees, Ants, and Spiders what wise hand teacheth them to doe what reason cannot teach us ruder heads stand amazed at those prodigious pieces of nature, Whales, Elephants, Dromidaries and Camels these I confesse, are the Colossus and Majestick pieces of her hand but in these narrow Engines there is more curious Mathematicks, and the civilitie of these little Citizens more neatly sets forth the wisdome of their Maker.
Thomas Browne
Hawking has violated the unspoken rules of atheism. He isn't supposed to use words like 'create' or even 'made.' They necessitate a Creator and a Maker. Neither are you supposed to let out that the essence of atheism is to believe that nothing created everything, because it's unthinking.
Ray Comfort
Just as a biplane and a jet share common features of wings, body, tires, engine, controls, etc.,... does not require that one must have evolved from the other naturally, without a maker. They argue it's more reasonable to conclude that similar design indicates a common, intelligent designer. An architect typically uses similar building materials for numerous buildings, and a car manufacturer commonly uses the same parts in various models. So if creation had a common designer, we could expect to find a similar "blueprint” used in many different creatures.
Ray Comfort
To discriminate against a thoroughly upright citizen because he belongs to some particular church, or because, like Abraham Lincoln, he has not avowed his allegiance to any church, is an outrage against that liberty of conscience which is one of the foundations of American life. You are entitled to know whether a man seeking your suffrages is a man of clean and upright life, honorable in all of his dealings with his fellows, and fit by qualification and purpose to do well in the great office for which he is a candidate; but you are not entitled to know matters which lie purely between himself and his Maker.
Theodore Roosevelt
God ... must always be sought for Himself, never as a means toward something else. Whoever seeks God as a means toward desired ends will not find God. The mighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, will not be one of many treasures, not even the chief of all treasures. He will be all in all or He will be nothing. God will not be used.
