"What does it matter if I suffer injustice? Would I not have deserved even more severe punishment from God if God had not treated me with mercy? Is not justice done to me even done to me a thousand times over even in injustice? Must it not be beneficial and conducive to humility for me to learn to bear such petty ills silently and patiently?"

"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by destroying the strong. You cannot further the brotherhood of men by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You can not build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."

"As cultural fads ebb and flow, the inescapable truth emerges that century after century the power of his written Word has surpassed, and will continue to surpass, the exhilarations of momentary experience, which are conceived and die in an instant. We tenderly set a halo on the forehead of feeling or miracle, but in times of greatest loss it is the written Word, the embodied Word, that carries us through, not feeling."
- Ravi Zacharias, (www.rzim.org) "Generations, Regeneration, and the Word"
