"Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows!" John 16:33
"You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand!" Psalm 16:11
Cheer up, Christian! The sweetness of the crown which shall be enjoyed--will make amends for the bitterness of the cross which was endured. This world is all the hell that you shall ever have!
Here you have your bad things--your good things are yet to come!
Here you have your bitter things--but your sweet things are yet o come!
Here you have your prison--but your palace is yet to come!
Here you have your rags--your royal robes are yet to come
Here you have your sorrow--your joy is yet to come!
Here you have your hell--your heaven is yet to come!
After the cup of affliction--comes the cup of salvation!
Oh, sirs, under the greatest troubles--lie your greatest treasures!
The seed of sorrow on earth--shall reap a golden crop of joy in heaven!
Those who sow holiness in the seed-time of their lives--shall reap happiness in the harvest of eternity!
Oh! sirs, never think to have an end of your sorrow--until there is an end of your sin!
The apostle tells us, "Our light affliction, which is for a moment--works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory!"
A grain of affliction--works a weight of glory!
A short moment of pain--works an eternity of pleasures!
Therefore saints, be of good cheer! Here is comfort for you--your best days are yet to come!-= William Dyer, "Christ's Famous Titles"

The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed a standard citizenry, to put down dissent and originality.- Henry Louis Mencken, 1880 - 1956

The best education consists in immunizing people against systematic attempts at education.- Paul Karl Feyerabend, 1924 - 1994

Education rears disciples, imitators, and routinists, not pioneers of new ideas and creative geniuses. The schools are not nurseries of progress and improvement, but conservatories of tradition and unvarying modes of thought.- Ludwig von Mises, 1881 - 1973
