Chance Quotes

“Few and precious are the words which the lips of Wisdom utter: To what shall their rarity be likened? What prices shall count their worth?

“The Spirit of Justice is the single most important seed Piers planted; if you don't live by its teaching, your chance of salvation is nil.

“Although the sovereignty of God is universal and absolute, it is not the sovereignty of blind power. It is coupled with infinite wisdom, holiness and love. And this doctrine, when properly understood, is a most comforting and reassuring one. Who would not prefer to have his affairs in the hands of a God of infinite power, wisdom, holiness and love, rather than to have them left to fate, or chance, or irrevocable natural law, or to short-sighted and perverted self? Those who reject God's sovereignty should consider what alternatives they have left.”

“We in the richest societies have too many calories even as we starve for beautiful, fresh food; we have overly large houses but lack spaces that truly embody our individuality and connectedness; media surround us everywhere while we starve for authentic communication. We are offered entertainment every second of the day but lack the chance to play. In the ubiquitous world of money, we hunger for all that is intimate, personal and unique.”

“Wisdom and fortune combating together, If that the former dare but what it can, No chance may shake it.”
