Billy Graham
“What will it profit a man
if he gains the whole world,
and loses his own soul? MARK 8:36”
Billy Graham, Hope for Each Day: Words of Wisdom and Faith

Sue Johnson
“For all of us, the person we love most in the world, the one who can send us soaring joyfully into space, is also the person who can send us crashing back to earth. All it takes is a slight turning away of the head or a flip, careless remark. There is no closeness without this sensitivity. If our connection with our mate is safe and strong, we can deal with these moments of sensitivity. Indeed, we can use them to bring our partner even closer. But when we don’t feel safe and connected, these moments are like a spark in a tinder forest. They set fire to the whole relationship.”
Sue Johnson, Hold Me Tight: Your Guide to the Most Successful Approach to Building Loving Relationships

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
“He who understands Archimedes and Apollonius will admire less the achievements of the foremost men of later times.”
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz

Sue Johnson
“In a group of studies Mikulincer showed that when we feel safely connected to others we understand ourselves better and like ourselves more.”
Sue Johnson, Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love

Leonhard Euler
“Quand mon cerveau excite dans mon ame la sensation d'un arbre ou d'une maison, je prononce hardiment, qu'il existe réellement hors de moi un arbre ou une maison, dont je connois même le lieu, la grandeur ou d'autres propriétés. Ainsi ne trouve-t-on ni homme ni bête qui doutent de cette vérité. Si un paysan en vouloit douter ; s'il disoit, par exemple, qu'il ne croyait pas que son baillif existe, quoiqu'il fut devant lui, on le pretendroit pour un fou et cela avec raison : mais dès qu'un philosophe avance de tels sentimens, il veut qu'on admire son esprit et ses lumières, qui surpassent infiniment celles du peuple.”
Leonhard Euler, Letters of Euler to a German princess, on different subjects in physics and philosophy. Translated from the French by Henry Hunter, D.D. With original ... terms. In two volumes. ... Volume 1 of 2
