He puts Himself within the compass of our highest conception, in order that He may make Himself real to us in His love and sympathy and power. A. C. Dixon real order thinking I must stress here the point that I appreciate clarity, order, meaning, structure, rationality: they are necessary to whatever provisional stability we have, and they can be the agents of gradual and successful change.

They were so exclusively engrossed in their day-to-day affairs that they had no time for friend-making.... They may flatter themselves that their unrelaxing concentration on business constitutes patriotism of the highest order. They may tell themselves that the existing emergency will pass, and that they can then adopt different, more sociable, more friendly habits. [But] such a day is little likely to come for such individuals. B. C.

Ryle selfishness men heaven Hell is out of fashion - institutional hells at any rate. The populated infernos of the 20th century are more private affairs, the gaps between the bars are the sutures of one's own skull. A valid hell is one from which there is a possibility of redemption, even if this is never achieved, the dungeons of an architecture of grace whose spires point to some kind of heaven.

Barbara Chase-Riboud beautiful civilization thinking It is inherent in human consciousness to improve.

Quintus Tullius Cicero law war peace Nostalgia is a necessary thing, I believe, and a way for all of us to find peace in that which we have accomplished, or even failed to accomplish. At the same time, if nostalgia precipitates actions to return to that fabled, rosy-painted time, particularly in one who believes his life to be a failure, then it is an empty thing, doomed to produce nothing but frustration and an even greater sense of failure. R. A. Salvatore frustration peace believe When individuals join in a cooperative venture, the power generated far exceeds what they could have accomplished acting individually. R. Buckminster Fuller venture acting peace We cannot have peace among men whose hearts find delight in killing any living creature. Rachel Carson heart peace life Quotes with WAR Category The assassination at Sarajevo was certainly the crucial precedent of the European war that its conspirators had sought, but was not the historical cause ... The assassination acted as a lever, prying the various powers into predictable paths. J. Bowyer Bell historical path war Declare war on passivity. Hush the inner voice that insists you're over the hill, past your prime, unworthy of attaining those dreams. Disbelief is now the enemy, as is the notion of settling. Get hungry- hyena hungry.
