“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilisations—these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit—immortal horrors or everlasting splendours.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

“To gain all we must risk all”
― Paul Von Lettow-vorbeck, My Reminiscences of East Africa: The Campaign for German East Africa in World War I

“Live each day as if thy last” is a wise word from a hymn written in 1674 by Thomas Ken. The older we get, the more needful its wisdom becomes, and if we have not already taken it to heart, we should do so now.”
― J.I. Packer, Finishing Our Course with Joy: Guidance from God for Engaging with Our Aging
