“Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control.” ― Epictetus
In August 2015 Angela Merkel announced that Europe was open to refugees and she declared, “We can do this”. Much of the media, like the Economist, backed her and said that her move was brave, decisive and right. And yet in 2010 in Potsdam she had made a speech in which she admitted that “the approach to build a multicultural society and to live side-by-side and to enjoy each other has failed, utterly failed”. Douglas Murray – The Strange Death of Europe(Page 96)
Let no broken hearted sinner exclude himself, when he is not by Christ excluded from mercy: His grace is His own, to bestow. John Flavel
"It is a great mistake to give a man who has not been convicted of sin certain passages that were never meant for him. The Law is what he needs...do not offer the consolation of the gospel until he sees and knows he is guilty before God. We must give enough of the Law to take away all self-righteousness. I pity the man who preaches only one side of the truth--always the gospel, and never the Law." -DL Moody
"Of all self-torture, that of importing future trouble into present account is, perhaps,
the most insane." — C. H. Spurgeon
