C.S. Lewis
“In popular usage Grammatica or Grammaria slid into the vague sense of learning in general; and since learning is usually an object both of respect and suspicion to the masses, grammar, in the form grammary comes to mean magic. Thus in the ballad of King Estmere, ‘My mother was a western woman learned in grammarye’. And from grammary, by a familiar sound-change, comes glamour—a word whose associations with grammar and even with magic have now been annihilated by the beauty-specialists.”
C.S. Lewis, The Discarded Image: An Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature

C.S. Lewis
“Everyone knows that the Arts are Grammar, Dialectic, Rhetoric, Arithmetic, Music, Geometry, and Astronomy. And almost everyone has met the mnemonic couplet Gram loquitur, Dia verba docet, Rhet verba colorat, Mus canit, Ar numerat, Geo ponderat, Ast colit astra. The first three constitute the Trivium or threefold way; the last four, the Quadrivium.”
C.S. Lewis, The Discarded Image: An Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature

J.C. Ryle
“The immense importance of "adorning the doctrine of God our Saviour" (Titus ii. 10), and making it lovely and beautiful by our daily habits and tempers, has been far too much overlooked. Worldly people sometimes complain with reason that "religious" persons, so-called, are not so amiable and unselfish and good-natured as others who make no profession of religion. Yet sanctification, in its place and proportion, is quite as important as justification.”
J.C. Ryle, Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties, and Roots

Douglas Wilson
“But do you want to be efficient like a machine, or fruitful like a tree?”
Douglas Wilson, Ploductivity: A Practical Theology of Work & Wealth

J.C. Ryle
“A holy violence, a conflict, a warfare, a fight, a soldier's life, a wrestling, are spoken of as characteristic of the true Christian.”
J.C. Ryle, Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties, and Roots
