"It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them." –Alfred Adler
"In times like these, it helps to recall that there have always been times like these." –Paul Harvey
"A desk is a dangerous place from which to watch the world." –John le Carre
"When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other." –Eric Hoffer
"The effort to remake the Jesus of the Bible so that he fits the spirit of one generation makes him feeble in another. Better to let him be what he is, because it is often the offensive side of Jesus that we need most. Especially offensive to the modern, western sentiment is the tough, blunt, fierce form of Jesus' love. People with think skin would often have felt hurt by Jesus' piercing tongue. People who identify love only with soft and tender words and ways would have been repeatedly outraged by the stinging, almost violent, language of the Lord." –John Piper, Seeing and Savioring Jesus Christ
