“Ah, my brother, it is a far harder thing, and it is afar higher proof of a thorough-going, persistent, Christian principle woven into the very texture of my soul, to go on plodding and patient, never taken by surprise by any small temptation, than to gather into myself the strength which God has given me, and, expecting some great storm to come down upon me, to stand fast, and let it rage. It is a great deal easier to die once for Christ than to live always for Him.” SoulChristianDiesGivenChristDealsPrinciplesTakenBrotherGoes OnHigherEasierHarderSurprisePatientStormProofRageTemptationMy SoulMy BrotherExpectingPersistentTextureWovenThoroughAfar Author:Alexander MacLaren
“My older brother always tells me I changed as a person when I saw 'Ace Ventura.' Because when I saw 'Ace Ventura', I became obsessed. I watched the movie as many times as I had to - back then, you couldn't go on the Internet and find the script - so I watched it as many times as I could to write my own script of 'Ace Ventura.'” WritingPersonsMy OwnSawsChangedBrotherGoes OnInternetScriptsObsessedOlder BrotherAces Author:Eliza Coupe
“The absence of marriages will result in all kinds of financial burdens that gay people wouldn't face if they could get married. If my brother gets hit by a car tomorrow, my sister-in-law will go on living materially in the same way that she does now. If the same thing happens to me, a great deal of what I have will go off to the taxman. That's because of one of, as you doubtless know, eleven hundred federal laws that favor marriage.” PeopleIfsKnowsWayKindDoeHappensFacesLawResultsDealsCarBrotherGoes OnTomorrowGayMarriedHundredFinancialBurdenAbsenceFavorsThings HappenAll KindsMy BrotherMy SisterElevenIn-lawsGay PeopleSister In LawFinancial Burden Author:Andrew Solomon
“If one of you sees, sometime, something unedifying and so much as goes on to pass it on and put it into the heart of another brother, in doing so you not only harm yourself but you harm your brother by putting one more little bit of knavery into his heart. Even if that brother has his mind set on prayer or some other noble activity, and the first arrives and furnishes him with something to prate about, he not only impedes what he ought to be doing, but brings a temptation on him. There is nothing graver or more deadly than this doing harm, not only to himself but also to his neighbor.” IfsMindFirstsHeartLittlesChristianBitsPrayerBrotherGoes OnOughtActivityLittle BitHarmNobleNeighborTemptationOrthodoxOrthodox ChristianYour BrotherMind SetKnavery Author:Dorotheus of Gaza
