The empty tomb.\n\nJesus is acknowledged by all to be a genuine historical figure.  The only question is, was He who He claimed to be?  The fact that no one in the first century could produce His body or otherwise refute the worldwide claim of His resurrection is a strong witness in favor of it, and thus of His claim.

looks at it.\n\n\nBut I'm finding that there are confilcts over who said it originally.  I have found both Emerson and Thoreau as being quoted.

How about a copy of the Declaration of Indepenence which does not include the following from the original draft:\n\n"he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it’s most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce: and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, by murdering the people upon whom he also obtruded them; thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another."

Hitler was a mystical minded idiot who's only claim to fame was being in the right place at the right time and taking over a bunch of simple minded already angry and bitter people who wanted revenge on the world. I bet in his book he talks a lot about WWI and God? Hitler's a joke. What influence has he had? National socialism, pah, that's barely a sentence, let alone an attempt at a philosophy. "Germans are genetically superior, therefore they must rule the world." The refutation is WWII itself: Germans lost, therefore that statement is false, therefore, done.

The confrontation of the West with Communism, Strauss wrote in The City and Man, has demonstrated that "no bloody or unbloody change of society can eradicate the evil in man: as long as there will be men, there will be malice, envy and hatred, and hence there cannot be a society which does not have to employ coercive restraint." Strauss implies, among other things, that the extravagant hope for permanent progress in human affairs believed in by Woodrow Wilson and his contemporary admirers is a delusion. In particular, Strauss wrote, the ideal of "a universal state, unitary or federative" (Strauss appears to be speaking of the United Nations) is also a delusion. "If that federation is taken too seriously," said Strauss, "as a milestone on man's onward march toward the perfect and hence universal society, one is bound to take great risks supported by nothing but an inherited and perhaps antiquated hope, and thus to endanger the very progress one endeavors to bring about."\n\nTo begin with, then, according to Strauss each nation should conduct its own foreign policy, and it should not turn its policy over to international organizations. In current parlance, Strauss was a unilateralist, not a multilateralist.\n\nread more at the link below

Gen. George C. Marshall: I have here a very old letter, written to a Mrs. Bixby in Boston. "Dear Madam: I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Yours very sincerely and respectfully, Abraham Lincoln."\n\nI don't remember weither he says it in the end or the beginning of the movie though.

I agree with the previous post-I thought I could pull this one right out and I can't find a thing - though still looking.\n\nI am still looking on this....damn it must be some high government secrect...\n\nI have found out that while he was dying - he suffered greatly.\n\nok keep looking , i am getting booted out of the pc room but I wish you luck...if you ever do find out please email me and let me know at MY USER NAME at yahoo.com\n\nthanks,\n\nI really dont' know what it says - it just know that Leiden means sorrow or anguish, I know what his grave site said, how many kids he had, who studied under him, but not that he tripped on descartes shoes while being chased with a chain saw !!!!!!!\n\nI am beginning the t hink the man is still alive!  \n\nLOL

lol could be! I think he led himself. His epic probably wasn't as great as it was thought to be, noting that history becomes inaccurate over time. But hey, thinking he was led by aliens makes me laugh!

Nah,\ndefinitely John Major.

"greatest" and "leader" are contradictory.\n\nNo-one who accepts a position of power or leadership can ever be considered "great".

Yes, those two sayings carry the same weight. You are also right about the translation. I have noticed you are correct about virtually everything you say. Keep it coming.

No -one knows what his demonsration was, that was the whole point.\nBut it has been proved subsequentally. See the second link

I have made many sacrifices in my life.  Which one do you mean?  I sacrificed my sanity to the study of philosophy back in the early 1970s, and never did get it back.  (Not sure I miss it anymore, though.)

Your Thesis Statement:\n“Alexander is a powerful ruler because he created a mighty military; he spreads Greek culture, and has the capability to control the largest empire in the world.”\n\nFirst he WAS a powerful ruler, because he inspired and led a mighty military.\n\nMy Thesis Statement:\nAlexander was a powerful ruler because he inspired his men and led a mighty army.  He unified Greece and went on to conquer Persia and most of the known eastern world.  What made him a great ruler was; his skill in combat, the great loyalty he inspired in his men and his ability to unify all the City Nations of Greece.\n\nAccording to Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesis\n“A typical thesis has a title page, an abstract, a table of contents, and a bibliography. Other components might include acknowledgements, a dedication, indexes and appendices, glossaries, lists of tables, images or figures, lists of abbreviations, and so on.”\n\nAccording to Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesis_statement\n“A thesis statement, also called a thesis, is the main point that is to be discussed by an essay. Usually backed up by examples, the thesis statement is the theme of the whole piece. The thesis statement also provides the reader with a general idea of what the essay is going to be about. Thesis statements are very specific and to the point. This way the essay stays focused and narrow on the subject matter.\n\nGenerally, the thesis statement is introduced at the beginning of the piece describing the topic and how the writer is going to analyze the information on that topic. The topic is also summarized at the end, giving the reader, and essay, closure.\nIn university or high school writing, a thesis will typically contain multiple paragraphs. So will an essay, although it's possible for an essay to consist of one lengthy paragraph (see topic sentence). For example, "In the early 1970s, a rock group named The Ramones captured the fancy of a generation of young people who mimicked the tattered fashion and punk attitude of these genuinely talented musicians, boosting them to fame."\n\nThere is also a concluding statement that has to flow with the thesis statement. Do not forget to use your thesis as a supporting sentence in your conclusion.”\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------\nKing Phillip tried to unify all of Greece, a job that Alexander took up and completed.\n\nAlexander was a powerful ruler because he had a mighty military.  He continued the training that he father Philip II of Macedon, had started and he joined his father's Calvary.  By serving with his Calvary he gained their respect.  He spent the same time in the field as his men, he shared the risks they took, and he slept along with them.  When took over for his father he was revered by his men and greatly honored.  He built a loyalty that would cause his men to willingly die for him.  After the death of King Philip his army proclaimed Alexander to be king.\n\nBecause Alexander was such a popular general for his army he had very loyal troops and in battle that was a great advantage.  They would willingly follow his orders even if they seemed a little crazy.\n\nIn one famous battle against the Persian King Darius II Alexander’s Calvary could have caught up with the King and captured or killed him.  Instead he wheeled his Calvary around to help his infantry, thus saving his Army.  By saving his Army it allowed him to continue his conquest to unite Greece and later to conquer Persia.\n\nIn another great battle Alexander was fighting an island nation.  He had effectively disbanded his navy so he could concentrate all his forces in his Army.  To win that battle he ordered his men to build a causeway out the mile or so to reach the island.  He also used the powerful siege weapon the scorpion, to defend his troops.  As his causeway grew, the island defenders sent boats out to try and ram it, fireboats were u
