Our knowledge of the historical worth of certain religious doctrines increases our respect for them, but does not invalidate our proposal that they should cease to be put forward as the reasons for the precepts of civilization. On the contrary! Those historical residues have helped us to view religious teachings, as it were, as neurotic relics, and we may now argue that the time has probably come, as it does in an analytic treatment, for replacing the effects of repression by the results of the rational operation of the intellect.

Viktor Schauberger

The cost of living has gone up another dollar a quart.

W. C. Fields

Lee Iacocca

If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.

Oswald Chambers

To rejoice in another's prosperity is to give content to your lot; to mitigate another's grief is to alleviate or dispel your own.

Tryon Edwards

I observe the physician with the same diligence as the disease.

John Donne

Was the real Jesus of history one and the same as the Christ of faith whom we read about in the New Testament and worship in the church? Was Jesus really raised from the dead? Is he really the divine Lord of lords?
