Living Quotes

“Faith runs towards the barricades because it can see the other side. Faith dares the raging storm because it can feel the calm. Faith challenges the status quo because it can imagine the new frontiers. Because faith can see, feel and imagine, it endures the immediate pains, stretches patience to its limits and makes living a hope adventure. Being human, we can survive with occasional doubts. But when doubts become so habitual that they graduate to unbelief and culminate into hopelessness, life becomes hazardous. We are better off when we see both with our outer and inner eyes. The inner eyes see beyond the pain, the weakness, and the challenge. They fuel hope and give us reasons to live. The eyes of faith then become our indispensable ally in our unstable world.”

“Philosophers are composed of flesh and blood as well as other human creatures; and however sublimated and refined the theory of these may be, a little practical frailty is as incident to them as to other mortals. It is, indeed, in theory only, and not in practice, as we have before hinted, that consists the difference: for though such great beings think much better and more wisely, they always act exactly like other men. They know very well how to subdue all appetites and passions, and to despise both pain and pleasure; and this knowledge affords much delightful contemplation, and is easily acquired; but the practice would be vexatious and troublesome; and, therefore, the same wisdom which teaches them to know this, teaches them to avoid carrying it into execution.”
