"The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they must be free. Of course God knew what would happen if they used their freedom the wrong way: apparently He thought it worth the risk."

Author: Lewis, C.S.





"Where Love is, God is."

Author: Drummond, Henry




"Our only business is to love and delight ourselves in God."

Author: Lawrence, Brother



"Whom should we love, if not Him who loved us, and gave himself for us?"

Author: Toplady, Augustus



"You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving."

Author: Carmichael, Amy




"We are shaped and fashioned by what we love."

Author: Wolfgang, Goethe, Johann

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

funches,

Thank you for posting your opinion.

I did not claim that the quotes that I posted would be inspirational to everyone. Whoever decides to read my thread, can take from the quotes what they may.

Thank you. Have a good day! happy


my point was not about you or anyone else posting supposely inspirational quotes..it's about the reason you constructed the thread .. which was because you was irritated at people in the forum ..the thread started off with you being negative and was a passive aggresive way for you to express your negativity to the other forums members you was ranting about

a lot of these threads are started in the disguise that they are good for everyone but are really only a way for the thread maker to stick it to those that don't agree with their beliefs


wisdom that shall change the world

Mark Twain: Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.

My Favorite:

One may have a blazing hearth in ones soul and yet no one ever comes to sit by it. Passersby see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on the way.
