Some quotes on this Christopher Columbus Day:
“He was first a Christian, second an adventurer, third a genius, fourth a visionary, fifth a real father, and finally a man of action. O that we had such men in our own time.” Theodore Roosevelt

“Your Highnesses, as Catholic Christians and Princes who love the holy Christian faith, and the propagation of it, and who are enemies to the sect of Mohammed and to all idolatries and heresies, resolved to send me, Christopher Columbus, to the said parts of India to see the said princes, and the people and lands, and to learn of their disposition, and the proper method of converting them to our holy faith.”

“It was the Lord who put into my mind (I could feel His hand upon me) the fact that it would be possible to sail from here to the Indies. All who heard of my project rejected it with laughter, ridiculing me. There is no question that the inspiration was from the Holy Spirit, because He comforted me with rays of marvelous illumination from the Holy Scriptures.”
-Columbus, AD 1501

“The fact that the Gospel must be preached to so many lands— that is what convinced me. Charting the seas is but a necessary requisite for the fulfillment of the Great Commission of our glorious Savior.”
-Columbus, AD 1502
