General Quotes

“When a man is getting better he understands more and more clearly the evil that is still left in him. When a man is getting worse he understands his own badness less and less.”
C.S. Lewis

“sometimes wondered if it would be better to let go of the pain of wanting and settle for the calm mediocrity of the status quo.”
T.D. Jakes

“The problem of reconciling human suffering with the existence of a God who loves, is only insoluble so long as we attach a trivial meaning to the word "love", and look on things as if man were the centre of them. Man is not the centre. God does not exist for the sake of man. Man does not exist for his own sake. "Thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." We were made not primarily that we may love God (though we were made for that too) but that God may love us, that we may become objects in which the divine love may rest "well pleased".”
C.S. Lewis

“Whom to Invite to Your Table As you bring people to your table to share ideas, be selective about whom you pick.

John C. Maxwell
