C.S. Lewis
“To have Faith in Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Orson Scott Card
“I think that most of us, anyway, read these stories that we know are not "true" because we're hungry for another kind of truth: the mythic truth about human nature in general, the particular truth about those life-communities that define our own identity, and the most specific truth of all: our own self-story. Fiction, because it is not about someone who lived in the real world, always has the possibility of being about oneself. --From the Introduction”
Orson Scott Card, Ender’s Game

Brandon Mull
“When jumping is the sole option, you jump, and try to make it work.”
Brandon Mull, Grip of the Shadow Plague

Gary Chapman
“Forgiveness is not a feeling; it is a commitment.”
Gary Chapman, The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate

Winston S. Churchill
“We sleep safely at night because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would harm us.”
Winston S. Churchill
