J.d. Wilhelm

“Travel by canoe is not a necessity, and will nevermore be the most efficient way to get from one region to another, or even from one lake to another anywhere. A canoe trip has become simply a rite of oneness with certain terrain, a diversion off the field, an art performed not because it is a necessity but because there is value in the art itself.”
― John McPhee

“My name is now Christian, but my name used to be Graceless.”
― John Bunyan, The Pilgrim's Progress: From This World to That Which Is to Come

“If a Christian is not willing to rise early and work late, to expend greater effort in diligent study and faithful work, that person will not change a generation. Fatigue is the price of leadership. Mediocrity is the result of never getting tired.”
― J. Oswald Sanders, Spiritual Leadership: Principles of Excellence For Every Believer

“For, indeed, everything about is marvelous, and wherever a man turns his gaze he sees the Godhead of the Word and is smitten with awe.”
― Athanasius of Alexandria, On the Incarnation
