“All of us would be wiser if we would resolve never to put people down, except on our prayer lists.”—Don Carson
God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing. - C.S. Lewis
As with many things, hesitation is better than hurry. ― Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear
Theosophists for instance will preach an obviously attractive idea like re-incarnation; but if we wait for its logical results, they are spiritual superciliousness and the cruelty of caste. For if a man is a beggar by his own pre-natal sins, people will tend to despise the beggar. But Christianity preaches an obviously unattractive idea, such asoriginal sin; but when we wait for its results, they are pathos and brotherhood, and a thunder of laughter and pity; for only with original sin we can at once pity the beggar and distrust the king. - G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy, 1908
