"Man's capacity for justice makes democracy possible, but man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary."
William F. Albright
"There is only one way out of the apparent impasse: we must return again to the Bible and draw new strength from the sources of Judeo-Christian faith. Like John the Baptist and Jesus, who turned back to the Prophets of Israel for inspiration, and like the great Reformers, who sought guidance from the Word of God, so must we reconstruct our religious thought on Biblical foundations. To all who believe in the eternal value of the Old and New Testaments, it is clear that God has been preparing the way for a revival of basic Christianity through enlightened faith in His Word."
Paul Tillich
"Being religious means asking passionately the question of the meaning of our existence and being willing to receive answers, even if the answers hurt."
John Wesley Work Jr.
"When I was a seeker / I sought both night and day / I asked the Lord to help me / And he showed me the way"
Karl Barth
"Jesus does not give recipes that show the way to God as other teachers of religion do. He is himself the way."
G.K. Chesterton
"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried."
Nikolai Berdyaev
"There is a tragic clash between Truth and the world. Pure undistorted truth burns up the world."
Oswald Chambers
“We are not made for the mountains, for sunrises, or for the other beautiful attractions in life - those are simply intended to be moments of inspiration. We are made for the valley and the ordinary things of life and that is where we have to prove our stamina and strength.”
Anton Chekhov
"There are no lower or higher or median moralities. There is only one morality, and it is precisely the one that was given to us during the time of Jesus Christ and that stops me... from stealing, offending others, lying etc."
