“Courage is the will to lay aside fear because your desire to do right outweighs your desire to avoid getting hurt. You said you were frightened of the panther."
"Terrified."
"Then why didn't you run away?"
Frightened though he had been, Aidan never even considered that possibility. "I couldn't leave Dobro to be eaten by a panther. I couldn't leave my sheep either."
Bayard smiled. "You felt fear. But you didn't act out of fear; you acted out of courage. Dobro was fearless. You were courageous, which is a much better thing to be.”
― Jonathan Rogers, The Bark of the Bog Owl

“There is nothing that makes me happier than sitting around the dinner table and talking until the candles are burned down.”
― Madeleine L'Engle, A Circle of Quiet

“Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.”
― G.K. Chesterton

“We don't practice hospitality to point other people to ourselves, our church, or even our beliefs. We practice hospitality to point people toward the ultimate welcome that God gives every person through Christ.”
