“Now the Father draws us from the evil of sin to the goodness of His grace with the might of His measureless power, and He needs all the resources of His strength in order to convert sinners, more than when He was about to make heaven and earth, which He made with His own power without help from any creature. But when He is about to convert a sinner, He always needs the sinner's help. "He converts thee not without thy help," as St. Augustine says.” NeedsMadeHelpingMightEarthOrderEvilFatherHeavenSinGraceCreaturesGoodnessDrawsResourcesTheeSinnerHeaven And EarthAugustine Author:Meister Eckhart

“If you study Japanese art you see a man who is undoubtedly wise, philosophic and intelligent, who spends his time how? In studying the distance between the earth and the moon? No. In studying the policy of Bismarck? No. He studies a single blade of grass. But this blade of grass leads him to draw every plant and then the seasons, the wide aspects of the countryside, then animals, then the human figure. So he passes his life, and life is too short to do the whole.” IfsMenHumansArtWholeEarthLife IsAnimalStudyWiseFiguresPolicyMoonDrawsAspectSeasonsIntelligentDistancePlantWideGrassToo ShortBladesLife Is Too ShortCountrysidePhilosophicBlades Of GrassJapanese ArtBismarck Author:Vincent Van Gogh
“Nature does not conquer the world to God. It never has. It never will. In America, with its vast abounding wealth, its grand expanse of prairie, its reach of river, and its exuberant productiveness, there is danger that our riches will draw us away from God, and fasten us to earth; that they will make us not only rich, but mean; not only wealthy, but wicked. The grand corrective is the cross of Christ, seen in the sanctuary where the life and light of God are exhibited, and where the reverberation of the echoes from the great white throne are heard.” WorldMeanDoeLightEarthAmericaChristWealthWhiteRichHeardDangerDrawsRiversCrossesRichesConquerWickedWealthyEchoesThronesSanctuaryPrairieExpanseConquer The WorldReverberation Author:Richard Salter Storrs
