“Jesus was and is the enemy of dead religion.”
― Eric Metaxas

“There are no weeds, and no worthless men. There are only bad farmers.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“Thus is youth constituted; it quickly wipes its eye; it believes sorrow useless and does not accept it. Youth is the smile of the future before an unknown being which is itself. It is natural for it to be happy. IT seems as though it breathed hope.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“Riches and rank have no necessary connection with genuine gentlemanly qualities. The poor man with rich spirit is in all ways superior to the rich man with a poor spirit. To borrow St. Paul's words, the former is as "having nothing, yet possessing all things," while the other, though possessing all things has nothing. Only the poor in spirit are really poor. He who has lost all, but retains his courage, cheerfulness, hope, virtue, and self respect, is still rich.”
― Samuel Smiles, Self-Help
