“It is not great talents God blesses so much as likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God.”
― Charles H. Spurgeon, Lectures to My Students

“God made us: invented us as a man invents an engine. A car is made to run on petrol, and it would not run properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other. That is why it is just no good asking God to make us happy in our own way without bothering about religion. God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“Forgiveness is the only way to reverse the irreversible flow of history.”
― Hannah Arendt

“Hope is the last thing that dies in man; and though it be exceedingly deceitful, yet it is of this good use to us, that while we are traveling through life it conducts us in an easier and more pleasant way to our journey's end.”
― François de La Rochefoucauld
