Ralph Waldo Emerson

The difference between a man who faces death for the sake of an idea and an imitator who goes in search of martyrdom is that whilst the former expresses his idea most fully in death it is the strange feeling of bitterness which comes from failure that the latter really enjoys; the former rejoices in his victory, the latter in his suffering.

Soren Kierkegaard

Though our feelings come and go, Gods love for us does not.

C.S. Lewis

Faith is believing what you know ain't so.

Mark Twain
