Favorite Quotes So Far:

  • “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity. And I’m not sure about the universe.” — Albert Einstein.
  • “Make a commitment to live with less so that you can give more to the poor.” — Ravi Zacharias
  • “Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing.” — W. A.  Ward
  • “Adhere to your purpose . . . if you falter, and give up, you will . . . regret it all your life.” — Abraham Lincoln
  • “The man who lives in a small community lives in a much larger world….The reason is obvious. In a large community we can choose our companions. In a small community our companions are chosen for us.”  — G. K. Chesterton, “Heretics.”
  • “The matter is quite simple. The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand we are obliged to act accordingly. Take any words in the New Testament and forget everything except pledging yourself to act accordingly. My God, you will say, if I do that my whole life will be ruined. . . ” — Soren Kierkegaard
  • “In my journey out of Calvinism I did not abandon the truth that God seeks His own Glory. Instead, I realized that God’s Glory is best revealed in His self-sacrificial love for all. I came to understand that God does not sacrifice creation for the sake of His own glory, but instead He sacrifices Himself for sake [sic] of His creation, which in turn reveals Him as the most glorious of all.” — Leighton Flowers
