Does God perform all things for his people? Do not distrust Him then when new or great difficulties arise. John Flavel
I can, if you will let me, lay claim to one little modest negative virtue. I have always been free from envy. In the year 1900 I had been considered a rather clever and amusing young man, but I felt no pang whatsoever at finding myself cut out at my own game by a sudden new-comer, named G. K. Chesterton, who was obviously far more amusing than I, and obviously a man of genius into the bargain. ~ Max Beerbohm, Lytton Strachey, 1943
O the excellency of the knowledge of Christ! It will be growing upon us through time, yea, I believe through eternity.- John Newton @john__newton
The most dangerous leap is the leap to conclusions.~ Woodrow Kroll
The ideal the French Revolution set before it was not merely a change in the French social system but nothing short of a regeneration of the whole human race. It created an atmosphere of missionary fervor and, indeed, assumed all the aspects of a religious revival—much to the consternation of contemporary observers. It would perhaps be truer to say that it developed into a species of religion. - Alexis de Tocqueville, The Old Regime and the Revolution, 1856
