“The tragedy is that many of us are living desperate Christian life. Sunday comes and we get some strength, and then we lose some on Monday; a good deal is gone by Tuesday and we wonder whether we have anything left. On Wednesday it has all gone and then we exist. Or perhaps refreshment comes in some other way, some meeting we attend, some friends we meet. Now that is the old order of things, that is not the new. He puts a well within us. We are not always drawing from somewhere outside. The well, the spring, goes on springing up from within into everlasting life.” WayWellsChristianOrderLeftLosesDealsWonderGoneGoes OnSpringTragedyMeetingsDrawingChristian LifeDesperateSundayMondayEverlastingTuesdayWednesdayRefreshmentsEverlasting Life Author:Martyn
“That is the worst moment, when you feel you have lost / The desires for all that was most desirable, / Before you are contented with what you can desire; / Before you know what is left to be desired; / And you go on wishing that you could desire / What desire has left behind.” KnowsFeelsMomentsDesireLostLeftWishBehindsWorstGoes OnDesirableLeft BehindWorst Moments Author:T.

“We have the Bible in our hands; but how little we know of its teaching! And how little are we governed by it! We go on, from week to week, year to year, with things which have no foundation whatever in its pages- yea, with things utterly opposed to its teaching; and, all the while, we boast of having the Scriptures, just like the Jews of old, who made their boast of having the oracles of God, while those very oracles condemned themselves and their ways, and left them without a single plea.” KnowsWayYearsLittlesMadeHandsChristianLeftWeekTeachingGoes OnPagesFoundationJewScriptureBoastOracles Author:Charles Henry Mackintosh
“Speaking as somebody who's been in the drug scene, it's not something you can go on and on doing, you know. It's like drink, or anything, you've got to come to terms with it. You know, like too much food, or too much anything. You've got to get out of it. You're left with yourself all the time, whatever you do--you know, meditation, drugs or anything. But you've got to get down to your own god and your own temple in your head.” KnowsLeftTermToo MuchMeditationGoes OnDrinkSceneDrugTemplesDo You KnowKnow MeDoing You Author:John Lennon
“You cannot stay the shell in its flight; after it has left the mortar, it goes on to its mark, and there explodes, dealing destruction all around. Just as little can you stay the consequences of a sin after it has been committed. You may repent of it, you may even be forgiven for it, but still it goes on its deadly and desolating way. It has passed entirely beyond your reach; once done, it cannot be undone.” WayMayLittlesHas BeensStillsDoneLeftSinGoes OnConsequenceDestructionMarkCommittedFlightShellsForgivenRepentUndoneMortar Book:Moses the Law-giver Source: Moses the Law-giver

“In voicing so much is left to your imagination to create the world around you like that. It's really the essence of what's so fun for, I think, many people when they first start to want to be an actor, is that they realise they enjoy making up a world around them to exist in, a whole situation and a whole way of being. And even more so than theatre, animation requires that because there's just nothing to go on.

“A young professor I watched in action at one of our large eastern colleges used to stand with his back to the class and mumble explanations of blackboard problems. He was "let out" at the end of two years because students refused to attend his classes. He was given an evasive reason for his dismissal and he left with justifiable bitterness toward the administration. If someone had told him the truth he could have avoided this denouement. Sometimes professors go on for years without any conception of remediable faults which irritate their listeners.” IfsYearsTwoEndsSometimesReasonProblemActionYoungUsedLeftGivenClassStudentsCollegeGoes OnFaultsAdministrationExplanationTwo YearsConceptionBitternessProfessorsListenersEasternAvoidedAcademiaBlackboardDismissalDenouement Author:Mary Barnett Gilson
