“Water and petrol both come from the earth, and though they seem to be alike and even the same, they are in nature and purpose exact opposites, for the one extinguishes fire and the other adds fuel to it. So also the world and its treasures, the heart and its thirst for God are alike His creation. Now the result of the attempt to satisfy the heart with the wealth and pride and honours of this world is the same as if one tried to put out a fire with petrol, for the heart can only find ease and satisfaction in Him who created both it and the longing desire of which it is conscious.” IfsWorldHeartSeemsEarthDesirePurposeWaterWealthResultsFireCreationThis WorldPrideConsciousOppositesLongingAddSatisfactionTreasureEaseFuelHonourConsumerismThirstOverconsumptionPetrolThirst For God Author:Sadhu Sundar Singh

And we should cast a philosophic yet curious smile at that which our hearts and brains tell us otherwise.” NeedsShouldHeartArtBrainStandardsCastsCuriousHonourPhilosophicHeart And Brain Author:Robert Genn
“Near the snow, near the sun, in the highest fields, See how these names are fêted in the waving grass And by the streamers of the white cloud And whispers of the wind in the listening sky. The names of those who in their lives fought for life, Who wore at their hearts the fire's centre. Born of the sun, they travelled a short while toward the sun And left the vivid air signed with their honour.” HeartNamesLeftBornWhiteSunFireAirSkyFieldsWindListeningHighestCloudsSnowGrassHonourCentreVividWhite Clouds Author:Stephen Spender
