“If God’s mercies came to us unasked, they would not be half so useful as they now are, when they have to be sought for; for now we get a double blessing, a blessing in the obtaining, and a blessing in the seeking. The very act of prayer is a blessing.”

“A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge. That is why I read so much.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

“If two angels were to receive at the same moment a commission from God, one to go down and rule earth’s grandest empire, the other to go and sweep the streets of its meanest village, it would be a matter of entire indifference to each which service fell to his lot, the post of ruler or the post of scavenger; for the joy of the angels lies only in obedience to God’s will, and with equal joy they would lift a Lazarus in his rags to Abraham’s bosom, or be a chariot of fire to carry an Elijah home.”
― John Newton

“My ma says You can't unspill a stew."

"She also says Undoing a wrong is greater than doing a right."

"You know, Ma is very good at saying two things at once.”
