Are you learning to say things after listening to God, or are you saying things and trying to make God's word fit in?

What is Scripture? The Hebrew word is torah. Torah means teaching, learning.

All Christian life is to be measured by Scripture; by every word thereof.

Your troubles may point you to death and destruction, but God's Word points you to life.

Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point.

Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived. Follow the path that is no path, follow your bliss.

My Alma mater was books, a good library... I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.

All blessings come to us through our Lord. He will teach us, for in beholding His life we find that He is the best example.

In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads. It has been the solace of my life, it will be the solace of my death.

I'll walk, but not in old heroic traces, And not in paths of high morality, And not among the half-distinguished faces, The clouded forms of long-past history. I'll walk where my own nature would be leading: It vexes me to choose another guide: Where the grey flocks in ferny glens are feeding; Where the wild wind blows on the mountain side.

All true histories contain instruction.

Don't just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents.
