'Believe me, my young friend, there is NOTHING—absolute nothing—half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.

C.S. Lewis
“To be happy at home, said Johnson, is the end of all human endeavour. As long as we are thinking only of natural values we must say that the sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal, or two friends talking over a pint of beer, or a man alone reading a book that interests him;”
C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

Madeleine L'Engle
“We human creatures can make watches and clocks and sensitive timing devices, but we don’t understand what we’re timing.”
Madeleine L'Engle, An Acceptable Time

Timothy J. Keller
“We think of a prospective spouse as primarily a lover (or a provider), and if he or she can be a friend on top of that, well isn’t that nice! We should be going at it the other way around. Screen first for friendship. Look for someone who understands you better than you do yourself, who makes you a better person just by being around them. And then explore whether that friendship could become a romance and a marriage. So many people go about their dating starting from the wrong end, and they end up in marriages that aren’t really about anything and aren’t going anywhere.”
Timothy J. Keller, The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God

Max Lucado
“When a father leads his four-year-old son down a crowded street, he takes him by the hand and says, “Hold on to me.” He doesn’t say, “Memorize the map” or “Take your chances dodging the traffic” or “Let’s see if you can find your way home.” The good father gives the child one responsibility: “Hold on to my hand.”
Max Lucado, Anxious for Nothing: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World

D.L. Mayfield
“Jesus knew what it meant to never be at home in your own place.”
D.L. Mayfield, Assimilate or Go Home: Notes from a Failed Missionary on Rediscovering Faith
