“Linguistically, English is an outlier in differentiating between moths and butterflies. In French, there are butterflies (papillons) and night-butterflies (papillons de nuit). German (Tagfalter and Nachtfalter) and Dutch (vlinder and nachtvlinder) adopt similar approaches.”
― James Lowen, Much Ado About Mothing: A year intoxicated by Britain’s rare and remarkable moths

“Let us study the minute details of our Master’s well-filled life. He shall deal prudently (Isaiah 52:13.). This was his distinctive character. The Spirit of prudence was the furniture for his work.”
― Charles Bridges, Proverbs

“It is not enough, that there is no poison in the tongue. It must be healing, not only purified from “corrupt communication,” but “ministering grace unto the hearers.”
― Charles Bridges, Proverbs

“I think it would be better to say that some churches have veered too far towards what they think is holiness, while other churches have veered too far to what they think is love. If a church has abandoned holiness, it has abandoned love, and if it has abandoned love, it has abandoned holiness. Holiness and love are mutually implicating and work in concert, not it opposition.”
