"Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one." --Bruce Lee

I am doing what I shall do through all eternity—blessing God, praising God, adoring God, giving Him the love of my whole heart. It is our one business my brethren, to worship Him and love Him, without thought of anything else.

No affairs or cares of this world can serve as an excuse for neglecting this our duty. God is everywhere, in all places, and there is no spot where we cannot draw near to Him, and hear Him speaking in our heart; with a little love, just a very little, we shall not find it hard.

-B. Lawrence

In fact, philosophy is universal in scope. No man can live without a worldview, therefore, there is no man who is not a philosopher.

Francis Schaeffer

You are not asked to believe in a blind leap of faith. The Bible teaches that there are good and sufficient reasons to know that these things are true. -Francis Schaeffer

We are to regard existence as a raid or great adventure; it is to be judged, therefore, not by what calamities it encounters, but by what flag it follows and what high town it assaults. The most dangerous thing in the world is to be alive; one is always in danger of one's life. But anyone who shrinks from this is a traitor to the great scheme and experiment of being.

G. K. Chesterton
