"In the torment of the insufficiency of everything attainable we eventually learn that here, in this life, all symphonies remain unfinished."
“The Christian of the future will be a mystic or he will not exist at all.”
C.S. Lewis
"There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors."
J.R.R. Tolkien
"All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost."
T.S. Eliot
"Be not too curious of Good and Evil; Seek not to count the future waves of Time; But be ye satisfied that you have light, Enough to take your step and find your foothold."
Lillian Hunt Trasher
"Lord, if ever I can do anything for You, just let me know and I'll do it."
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"
Charles Finney
"A revival may be expected when Christians have a spirit of prayer for a revival. That is, when they pray as if their hearts were set upon it. When Christians have the spirit of prayer for a revival. When they go about groaning out their hearts desire. When they have real travail of soul."
Richard Furman
"Consider what multitudes around you need converting grace; and what a change will soon be made in their state and circumstances as well as in your own, when they, with you, will be arrested by the strong hand of death, and summoned to the bar of God."
Manasseh Cutler
"It is not possible, in the nature of things, that human laws, or principles of honor, can be adequate substitutes for religion. … Infidelity is a formidable enemy to the true principles of liberty. It erases from their foundation the main pillars that can support a free government. Freedom deigns not to dwell with general immorality: It cannot be enjoyed without virtue, nor can virtue be maintained without religion."
