― Dorothy L. Sayers

“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.”

“The early Christians made it a part of their religion to look for his return. They looked backward to the cross and the atonement for sin, and rejoiced in Christ crucified. They looked upward to Christ at the right hand of God, and rejoiced in Christ interceding. They looked forward to the promised return of their Master, and rejoiced in the thought that they would see him again. And we ought to do the same”
― John Charles Ryle, Practical Religion
