“The holiest, most ordinary, and most necessary practice in the spiritual life is that of the Presence of God. It is to take delight in and become accustomed to His divine company, speaking humbly and conversing with Him all the time, at every moment.” — (Brother Lawrence in The Recollected Heart by Philip Zaleski)
“His body is a paradox of mass and lightness, crafted to slip through air with the ease of an arrow. His mind is impressed with a single command: run. He pursues speed with superlative courage, pushing beyond defeat, beyond exhaustion, sometimes beyond the structural limits of bone and sinew. In flight, he is nature’s ultimate wedding of form and purpose.” – (Laura Hillenbrand, author of
Seabiscuit: An American Legend)
“Humility and knowledge in poor clothes excel pride and ignorance in costly attire.” – (William Penn)
“I trust in the Lord for protection. So why do you say to me, “Fly like a bird to the mountains for safety!” – (Psalm 11:1)
“Heroism is endurance for one moment more.” – (George F. Kennan.)
