American Minute with Bill Federer‘When a nation goes down…they forgot where they came from.’ – Carl Sandburg |
Carl Sandburg wrote children’s fairytales, called Rootabaga Stories, and mused of his wanderings in American Songbag. Carl Sandburg wrote: “A baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on.” In 1926, Carl Sandburg wrote Abraham Lincoln-The Prairie Years, and in 1939 he wrote Abraham Lincoln-The War Years, for which he received a Pulitzer Prize.
In his Complete Poems, for which he won a Pulitzer, 1951, Carl Sandburg wrote: “All my life I have been trying to learn to read, to see and hear, and to write. At sixty-five I began my first novel… It could be, in the grace of God, I shall live to be eighty-nine…I might paraphrase: ‘If God had let me live five years longer I should have been a writer.'”
“When a nation goes down, or a society perishes, one condition may always be found; they forgot where they came from.” America’s God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations
“Each day your members observe a 200-year-old tradition meant to I must ask: If you can begin your day with a member of the clergy standing right here leading you in prayer, then why can’t freedom to acknowledge God be enjoyed again by children in every school room across this land? Carl Sandburg said, ‘I see America not in the setting sun of a black night of despair… I see America in the crimson light of a rising sun fresh from the burning, creative hand of God.'” God’s Glory Alone Ministries thanks Bill Federer & www.AmericanMinute.com
