The old Puritan idea that the devil tempts men had
this remarkable effect: it produced the man of iron
who fought; the modern idea of blaming his heredity
or his circumstances produces the man who
succumbs at once.
--Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)
_Disciples Indeed_ [1955]
There are only two kinds of people in the end:
those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and
those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will
be done."
All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that
self-choice there could be no Hell.
--C. S. Lewis (1898-1963)
_The Great Divorce_ [1946]
