# The Days of Noah, the Complete Box Set ![rw-book-cover](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Gl7YdBQrL._SY160.jpg) ## Metadata - Author: [[Mark Goodwin]] - Full Title: The Days of Noah, the Complete Box Set - Category: #books ## Highlights - For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence—on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.   John F. Kennedy, Waldorf Astoria, April 1961 ([Location 771](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=771)) - absolute disorder means that the masses will accept the new world order without question or protest. They’ll be begging for anything that promises to maintain peace and brings control, and they will get control. ([Location 1335](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=1335)) - THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.   Thomas Paine, The American Crisis ([Location 1659](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=1659)) - Truth is treason in the empire of lies.   Ron Paul ([Location 3887](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=3887)) - “Between convenience, security, and freedom, you can pick two. But you can’t have all three.” ([Location 4036](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=4036)) - whatever we don’t understand, we create an explanation for. ([Location 4614](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=4614)) - If you’ve ever read the Amazon reviews of books on intelligent design, the Darwinists and atheists are downright militant in their attacks. They are religious zealots in the highest form of the word. ([Location 4647](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=4647)) - “We’ve been fighting the wrong fight. Rather than fighting to get the government to define marriage in accordance with the Bible, we should have been fighting to get the government out of our private lives altogether.” ([Location 4959](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=4959)) - “You can press on. You can pray. You can remind the folks in your home Bible study group that God is always faithful and that He always makes a way. ([Location 4964](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=4964)) - He quickly filled a cart with allergy medicine, Band-Aids, gauze, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, ibuprofen, Tums, and antibiotic gel. I wish we’d planned ahead and bought some advanced medical supplies. Well, at least we have David to get us tourniquets and sutures. ([Location 6584](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=6584)) - Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.   Dietrich Bonhoeffer ([Location 6718](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=6718)) - Articles 114, 115, 117, 118, 123, 124, and 153 of the Constitution of the German Reich are suspended until further notice. It is therefore permissible to restrict the rights of personal freedom, freedom of expression, including the freedom of the press, the freedom to organize and assemble, the privacy of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications. Warrants for house searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.   The Reichstag Fire Decree ([Location 7197](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=7197)) - People think these things can’t happen and are shocked when they do because folks don’t pay attention to history. This stuff always happens. It’s the nature of our species. And if a government can’t find the political will among the people to accept it, they’ll fake an attack to scare people into submission. That happens all the time too. ([Location 7316](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=7316)) - Standing up for what’s right just became a lot more dangerous. If I’m only a Christian, or a patriot, or an American when it’s safe, then I’m none of those things at all.” ([Location 7408](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=7408)) - First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionist, and I did not speak out because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. And then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.   Martin Niemöller ([Location 7522](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=7522)) - “If we can’t find bar soap, we have to, but body wash is mostly water. It takes up a lot more room than bar soap.” ([Location 7692](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=7692)) - Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles.   2 Chronicles 32:7-8a ([Location 7948](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=7948)) - As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such a twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air—however slight—lest we become the unwitting victims of the darkness.   Former Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas ([Location 8213](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01MU49HJM&location=8213))
