Another thought provoking offering from my beloved Boreham. I really don't know what to say anymore about how much this author means to me so I will just allow his words to speak for him.
"The fact is that when heaven speaks to earth, it always waits for an answer. Revelation requires a response...When Heaven speaks to earth, it waits for an answer. Therein lies the mystic significance of that strange and untranslatable sound - the sound of a grand Amen."
"Cardinal Newman used to say that Conscience is incomparably the greatest proof we possess of the existence of God. The fact that the law within agrees so precisely with the law without is clearly far more than a coincidence. It is no coincidence that the proof agrees with the manuscript; we know the reason why. It is no coincidence that Conscience applauds the Commandments; the reason is plain. The one is an exact copy of the other because both have issued from beneath the same Hand."
"Professor Henry Drummond says that 'from Self-ism to Other-ism is the supreme transition of history."
"It always seems like a flagrant discourtesy to leave a cosy fire on a chilly night."
"We're better off than he was, Tom" he said, "but we're not better men than he was, eh?"
Tom looked assent, and Edward went on:
"I tell you what it is, Tom, we've got side-tracked. I'm going back to the old church and the old ways; and in the new home that I build here I mean to make room for worship, as dad did."
“How many people were there on Robinson Crusoe’s island?” one of the philosophers asked not so very long ago. Crusoe seems to be alone, but is he really alone? Is he not attended by all from whom he had ever learned, by all whom he had ever watched, by all whom he imitated? But for that element of imitation, could Crusoe have survived the ordeal to which he was submitted? It was because he was essentially a mimic that he lived through it."
"A newspaper, according to Mark Twain, is a small quantity of information entirely surrounded by advertisements."
"I see that the churches are very busy; but I cannot always satisfy myself that they are busy about their proper business."
"Man has an inborn craving for medicine. Heroic dosing for several generations has given his tissues a thirst for drugs. The desire to take medicine is one feature which distinguishes man, the animal, from his fellow creatures. It is really one of the most serious difficulties with which we doctors have to contend. Even in minor aliments, which would yield to dieting or to simple home remedies, the doctor's visit is not thought to be complete without the prescription!" -Sir William Osler
"The man who has taken one long look into his own heart, and one long look into the Savior's face, will think there never was grace like the grace by which he has been redeemed. An eternity of argument would not convince him that the salvation of any other soul could be as wonderful as the salvation of his own. Every converted man is in love with his own conversion."
"We have an ugly habit of regarding one miracle as marvelous, but a million miracles as commonplace."
"The sea, they say, carries all its unrest upon the surface; in the depths there is the stillness of an everlasting calm."
"Or tell it to the prodigal! In his De Profundis, which was written in jail, Oscar Wilde says that 'the moment the prodigal son fell upon his knees and wept, he made the time he spent in the far country the most beautiful and most holy period of his life. It is difficult for most people to grasp this idea. I dare say one has to go to prison to understand it. If so, it is worth while going to prison.'"
