We have forgotten that evil is infectious, as infectious as

small-pox; and we do not perceive that if we allow whole

departments of our life to become purely secular, and to create

and maintain moral or immoral standards of their own, in time

the whole of life is bound to become corrupt.-G. A. Studdert Kennedy (1883-1929), The Wicket Gate, London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1923, p. 225-226

It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes life worth living.- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr, 1841 - 1935

Do not pray for more of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity and is not in pieces. Every child of God has all of Him, but does He have all of us?-Julia Kellersberger

There is a general kind of praying which fails for lack of precision. It is as if a regiment of soldiers should all fire off their guns anywhere. Possibly somebody would be killed, but the majority of the enemy would be missed.- C.H. Spurgeon

What are our lame praises in comparison with His love?
Nothing, and less than nothing; but love will stammer rather
than be dumb.-Robert Leighton (1611-1684), A Practical Commentary Upon the First Epistle of St. Peter, Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 1849, p. 45
