“Distinguishing the signal from the noise requires both scientific knowledge and self-knowledge: the serenity to accept the things we cannot predict, the courage to predict the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
Nate Silver, The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail—But Some Don't

Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
“The gospel is not good news to those who pride themselves on their hard work. It is infuriating news.”
Elyse M. Fitzpatrick, Give Them Grace: Dazzling Your Kids with the Love of Jesus

“Oswald Chambers cautioned us when he said, “I am called to live in perfect relation to God so that my life produces a longing after God in other lives, not admiration for myself.

Brad Bigney, Gospel Treason: Betraying the Gospel with Hidden Idols

Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
“The obvious difference between Paul and us is that Paul bragged about his weakness, and we try to hide it.”
Elyse M. Fitzpatrick, Give Them Grace: Dazzling Your Kids with the Love of Jesus

Niall Ferguson
