“I still don’t believe God counts up prayers, but I have come to better understand that prayers aren’t so much something directed at God, but rather, at each other. Sure, we can ask God to intervene, but then we’d just be on the sidelines waiting for God to act. We were not put on this earth for the purpose of being observers on the sidelines. We cannot expect all good to flow from God. We have to be participants and interveners.”
― Tom Mauser, Walking In Daniel's Shoes

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde

“Some dogs, finding the skin of a lion, began to tear it in pieces with their teeth.

A Fox, seeing them, said, "If this lion were alive, you would soon find out that his claws were stronger than your teeth."

It is easy to kick a man that is down.”
