Jayna Baas > Jayna's Quotes

“All you want is power. Power and control. And we want freedom. On every front. It’s every man’s birthright, the freedom to make his own
choices before God. Freedom for you to accept God or reject Him. His truth, His forgiveness, His righteousness. Your choice, because He created you free. Just like every other person ever born.”
― Jayna Baas, Preacher on the Run

“The truth will hold its own.”
― Jayna Baas, Preacher on the Run

“A man needs heroes. He needs to believe in strength, nobility and courage. Otherwise we become sheep to be herded to the slaughterhouse of death. I believe this. I am a soldier. I try to fight for the right cause. Sometimes it is hard to know. “But I do not sit back and sneer in cowardice at those with the courage to fight. The blood of good men makes the earth rich, as it is here. When I die sword in hand, I hope someone lives to sing of it. I live my life so that when death comes I may die well. I ask no more.”
― Louis L'Amour, Sackett's Land
