Righteous Judgment

Let us never sacrifice our principles for anybody's politics - not now, not ever.

The thing about Christians is that when they lose, they quit. And when they win, they quit. They just quit.
~ Jerry Falwell

He who has begun his task has half done it. Have the courage to be wise; Begin!
~ Horace

The more flesh the more worms.
The more possessions, the more worry.
The more wives, the more witchcraft.
The more maidservants, the more unchastity.
The more slaves, the more robbery.
~ Rabbi Hillel, quoted in The Living Talmud, edited by Judah Holdin

Anyone can CARRY HIS BURDEN
however hard, until nightfall.
Anyone, can DO HIS WORK,
however hard, one day.
Anyone can live SWEETLY, PATIENTLY, LOVINGLY,
until the sun goes down.
And this is all that life really is.
~Robert Louis Stevenson

A friend is a present you give yourself.
~ Robert Louis Stevenson

To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.”
- Robert Louis Stevenson

A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon, or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
~ C.S. Lewis, in Mere Christianity

God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts to us in our pains. Suffering is God’s megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
~ C.S. Lewis
