“The observance of Lent is the very badge of Christian warfare. By it we prove ourselves not to be enemies of Christ. By it we avert the scourges of divine justice. By it we gain strength against the princes of darkness, for it shields us with heavenly help. Should men grow remiss in their observance of Lent, it would be a detriment to God’s glory, a disgrace to the Catholic religion, and a danger to Christian souls. Neither can it be doubted that such negligence would become the source of misery to the world, of public calamity, and of private woe.” MenWorldShouldSoulHelpingWould BeChristianGrowsChristJusticeEnemyDarknessDangerDivineSourceProveGloryGainsCatholicMiseryHeavenlyWarfareWoeCalamityDisgraceShieldsDoubtedBadgesScourgeNegligenceObservanceAvertDivine JusticeCatholic Religion Author:Pope Benedict XIV
“Don't take yourself too seriously. It just makes life all the harder. It'll all come out in the wash anyway, because God's glory eventually will eclipse everything that goes wrong on this earth. Lighten up and learn to laugh at yourself. None of us is infallible. We make mistakes in life, and more often than not, they're funny. Sometimes, being your own source of comedy is the most fun of all.” SelfSometimesEarthFunMistakeLaughingComedySourceGloryHarderMaking MistakesInfallibleEclipseLaugh At YourselfLife MistakesWe Make MistakesLearn To Laugh At Yourself Author:Luci Swindoll
“The daily disappearance and the subsequent rise of the sun appeared to many of the ancients as a true resurrection; thus, while the east came to be regarded as the source of light and warmth, happiness and glory, the west was associated with darkness and chill, decay and death. This led to the custom of burying the dead so as to face the east when they rose again, and of building temples and shrines with an opening toward the east. To effect this, Vitruvius, two thousand years ago, gave precise rules, which are still followed by Christian architects.” YearsStillsTwoLightChristianFacesDarknessSunAtheismEffectsBuildingSourceThousandGloryYears AgoRoseWestPositive AtheismEastOpeningTemplesCustomsWarmthArchitectResurrectionDecayThousand YearsPreciseChillDisappearanceShrinesBurying Author:Isaac Newton
“I believe that God is the source of all the universal, timeless principles. And to Him, I give all the credit and the glory.

“With what astonishment and veneration may we look into our own souls, where there are such hidden stores of virtue and knowledge, such inexhaustible sources of perfection.

“To the feudal aristocracy and the aristocracy of the spirit, nobility derives from diametrically opposite sources. The glory of the feudal aristocrat is in being a link in the longest possible chain of ancestors. The glory of the aristocrat of the spirit is in having no ancestors - or having as few as possible. If an artist is his own ancestor, if he has only descendents, he enters history as a genius; if he has few ancestors, or is related to them distantly, he enters history as a talent.” IfsInspirationalArtSpiritArtistLiteratureTalentSourceGeniusGloryOppositesChainsRelatedLinksAncestorNobilityAristocracy Author:Yevgeny Zamyatin
