The circle from the Bible to systematic theology to hermeneutics to the Bible is not a vicious circle, but a spiral of growth and progress, guided by the work of the Holy Spirit in illumination.”
― Peter A. Lillback, Seeing Christ in All of Scripture: Hermeneutics at Westminster Theological Seminary

“When people are asked to do something that takes self-control, if they think they are doing it for personal reasons—if they feel like it’s a choice or something they enjoy because it helps someone else—it’s much less taxing.

― Charles Duhigg, The Power Of Habit: Why We Do What We Do In Life And Business

“There is always more misery among the lower classes than there is humanity in the higher.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
