"Resurrection" is the word that, of all words in the Bible,
wants to tell us in the strongest and most unambiguous way: God
is not a thought, God is not a word, God is not a feeling. God
is the Great One, the True One, the Real and Living One, who
waits to meet us precisely at that point where our thoughts
about him end.- Karl Barth (1886-1968), from "He Himself" in Come Holy Spirit: Sermons, New York: Round Table Press, 1933,reprint, Mowbrays, 1978, p. 162

Anger is never without an argument, but seldom with a good one.- Indira Gandhi, 1917 - 1984

India wants to avoid a war at all costs but it is not a one-sided affair, you cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.- Indira Gandhi, 1917 - 1984

Regarding the debate about faith and works: It's like asking which blade in a pair of scissors is most important.- C. S. Lewis, 1898 - 1963

It is useless to preach the Kingdom when we do not carry
into the centre of life the control of a King. The first duty
of every soul is to find not its freedom but its Master. And
the first charge of every Church is to offer, nay to mediate,
Him.- P. T. Forsyth (1848-1921), Positive Preaching and Modern Mind, New York: A. C. Armstrong & Son, 1907, p.42
