“But as Job said, ‘The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.’ We will choose to praise and trust Him no matter what.”

Bread of Angels

“Children learn what they live. Put kids in a class and they will live out their lives in an invisible cage, isolated from their chance at community; interrupt kids with bells and horns all the time and they will learn that nothing is important or worth finishing; ridicule them and they will retreat from human association; shame them and they will find a hundred ways to get even. The habits taught in large-scale organizations are deadly.”
― John Taylor Gatto
