| "Eternity: Smoking or Non-Smoking?" -anon "But God's own descent Into flesh was meant As a demonstration... Spirit enters flesh and for all it's worth Charges into earth in birth after birth Ever fresh and fresh." -Robert Frost "The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain fron heaven... And earthly power doth then show likest God's When mercy seasons justice." -Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice "The test of observance of Christ's teachings is out consciousness of our failure to attain an ideal perfection. The degree to which we draw near this perfection cannot be seen; all we can see is the extent of our deviation." -Leo Tolstoy "The God of power, as he did ride In his majestick robes of glorie Resolv'd to light; and so one day He did descend, undressing all the way." -George Herbert The real goal was not to defeat the white man, but "to awaken a sense of shame withing the oppressor and challenge his false sense of superiority.... The end is reconciliation; the end is redemption; the end is the creation of the beloved community." -Martin Luther King Jr. "Death limits the spread of wickedness in society" -Hugh Ross |
