“He who kneels before God, can stand before any man.”
― Ezra Taft Benson

“Then first I knew the delight of being lowly; of saying to myself, "I am what I am, nothing more." "I have failed," I said, "I have lost myself—would it had been my shadow." I looked round: the shadow was nowhere to be seen. Ere long, I learned that it was not myself, but only my shadow, that I had lost. I learned that it is better, a thousand-fold, for a proud man to fall and be humbled, than to hold up his head in his pride and fancied innocence. I learned that he that will be a hero, will barely be a man; that he that will be nothing but a doer of his work, is sure of his manhood.”
― George MacDonald, Phantastes

“The louder our world today is, the deeper God seems to remain in silence. Silence is the language of eternity; noise passes.”

“If you knew how much work went into it, you wouldn't call it genius. ”
