William Blake
“We become what we behold.”
William Blake, Jerusalem: The Emanation of the Giant Albion

George Herbert
“Death used to be an executioner, but the gospel has made him just a gardner.”
George Herbert

John Dickson
“Humility is the noble choice to forgo your status, deploy your resources or use your influence for the good of others before yourself.”
John Dickson, Humilitas: A Lost Key To Life, Love, and Leadership

John Calvin
“Therefore, in reading profane authors, the admirable light of truth displayed in them should remind us, that the human mind, however much fallen and perverted from its original integrity, is still adorned and invested with admirable gifts from its Creator. If we reflect that the Spirit of God is the only fountain of truth, we will be careful, as we would avoid offering insult to him, not to reject or condemn truth wherever it appears. In despising the gifts, we insult the Giver.”
John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion, 2 Vols

Gavin Ortlund
“Pursuing the unity of the church does not mean that we should stop caring about theology. But it does mean that our love of theology should never exceed our love of real people, and therefore we must learn to love people amid our theological disagreements.”
Gavin Ortlund, Finding the Right Hills to Die On: The Case for Theological Triage
