“The chief difficulty is that God demands of us that we live by faith: faith in God, God's sovereignty over the future, God's sufficiency for the present; while, on the other hand, the various other gods whom we can serve appeal to us in terms of the things which we can see and the forces which we can calculate. The choice between the life of faith and the life of sight is a choice between a God whom only faith can apprehend and gods whom one has only to see to understand.” HandsChoicesForceTermSeeingDemandSightDifficultyVariousInvisibleChiefsAppealsVisibleLive ByFaith In GodSovereigntySufficiency Author:Daniel Thambyrajah Niles
“The heroic hours of life do not announce their presence by drum and trumpet, challenging us to be true to ourselves by appeals to the martial spirit that keeps the blood at heat. Some little, unassuming, unobtrusive choice presents itself before us slyly and craftily, glib and insinuating, in the modest garb of innocence. . . . Then it is that you will be summoned to show the courage of adventurous youth.” LittlesCharacterShowsSpiritChoicesHoursChallengesBloodYouthBeing TrueAppealsInnocenceHeatHeroicModestAdventurousTrumpetsUnassuming Author:Benjamin Cardozo
“I can't judge how another person does their [music] work. Everyone has a choice and the music industry is much more open that it was when I was younger. Certain things are gone, others have developed, but everyone makes their choices. Pop music has always been about the mainstream and what appeals to the public. I don't feel it's my place to judge. I just look at things as a fan, I like or or I don't like it.” FeelsLooksPersonsDoeI CanCertainChoicesGoneFansJudgingIndustryPopsAppealsMainstreamPop MusicMusic Industry Author:Patti Smith

“I've long said that if I were about to be executed and were given a choice of my last meal, it would be bacon and eggs. There are few sights that appeal to me more than the streaks of lean and fat in a good side of bacon, or the lovely round of pinkish meat framed in delicate white fat that is Canadian bacon. Nothing is quite as intoxicating as the smell of bacon frying in the morning, save perhaps the smell of coffee brewing.” IfsLongSaidWould BeLastsChoicesGivenSidesWhiteMorningFoodSightCookingRoundsSmellCoffeeLovelyFatsAppealsMeatMealsEggsCulinaryDelicateStreaksFramedBrewingFrying Author:James Beard
