“But so many Christians are like deaf people at a concert. They study the programme carefully, believe every statement make in it, speak respectfully of the quality of the music, but only really hear a phrase now and again. So they have no notion at all of the mighty symphony which fills the universe, to which our lives are destined to make their tiny contribution, and which is the self-expression of the Eternal God.” PeopleBelieveSelfChristianUniverseSpeakQualityChristianityStudyOur LivesExpressionEternalNotionTinyStatementsPhrasesContributionConcertsDestinedDeafSymphonySelf ExpressionProgrammes Book:Advent with Evelyn Underhill Source: Advent with Evelyn Underhill

When you know, then you are free, your mind is free.” PeopleKnowsMindSometimesExpressionBoundsStatementsNot SureBiblicalKnow YourselfFree Your Mind Author:Wangari Maathai
“In comparing these two writers, he [Samuel Johnson] used this expression: "that there was as great a difference between them as between a man who knew how a watch was made, and a man who could tell the hour by looking on the dial-plate." This was a short and a figurative statement of his distinction between drawing characters of nature and characters only of manners, but I cannot help being of opinion, that the neat watches of Fielding are as well constructed as the large clocks of Richardson, and that his dial plates are brighter.” MenWellsMadeTwoCharacterHelpingUsedHoursDifferencesOpinionWatchesExpressionDrawingStatementsMannersCompareClockDistinctionPlatesJohnsonBrighterNeat Author:James Boswell
“The political cartoon, in a way, is one of the highest forms of expression about our times. I don't believe in dramatic statements when it comes to political critique.
