“You cannot go on 'seeing through' things for ever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it. It is good that the window should be transparent, because the street or garden beyond it is opaque. How if you saw through the garden too? It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

― G.K. Chesterton, What's Wrong with the World

“The Church is perishing today through the lack of thinking, not through an excess of it.”
― J. Gresham Machen, Christianity and Culture

“At the end of the day, what qualifies people to be called “leaders” is their capacity to influence others to change their behavior in order to achieve important results.”
― Kerry Patterson, Influencer: The New Science of Leading Change
