“It is not that God is stingy and must be coaxed, for He "giveth liberally and upbraideth not." It is that we ourselves are so shallow and sinful that we need to tarry before Him until our restless natures can be stilled and the clamor of outside voices be deadened so that we can hear His voice. Such a state is not easily reached, and the men God uses have paid a price in wrestlings and prevailing prayer. But it is such men who rise from their knees confident of His power and go forth to speak with authority.” MenNeedsStatesUseSpeakVoicePrayerHe ManAuthorityPaidKneesWrestlingShallowRestlessPrevailingClamorStingyPrevailing Prayer Book:Blood, Bread and Fire:: The Christian’s Threefold Experience Source: Blood, Bread and Fire:: The Christian’s Threefold Experience
“Youth is not a time of life - it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of red cheeks, red lips and supple knees. It is a temper of the will; a quality of the imagination; a vigor of the emotions; it is a freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a tempermental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over a life of ease. This often exists in a man of fifty, more than in a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old by deserting their ideals.” PeopleMenYearsMindMeanMatterStatesGrowsImaginationNumbersEmotionQualityBoysYouthAdventureSpringRedIdealsTwentiesLipsEaseKneesFiftyAppetiteState Of MindTemperCheeksVigorFreshnessTimidityRed LipsSupple Author:Samuel Ullman
“The thought sometimes - the unpleasant thought sometimes creeps up on me here as to whether perhaps Khrushchev was not invited here to enable you to sort of rub him in your sauce and to show the might and the strength of the United States so as to make him sort of... so as to make him shaky at the knees. If that is so, then if I came - if it took me about 12 hours to get here, I guess it'll just - it'll take no more than about 10½ hours to fly back.” IfsSometimesStatesShowsMightHoursUnitedUnited StatesKneesInvitedCreepsSauce Author:Nikita Khrushchev
