“If you were to take the sum total of all authoritative articles ever written by the most qualified of psychologists and psychiatrists on the subject of mental hygiene–if you were to combine them and refine them and cleave out the excess verbiage–if you were to take the whole of the meat and none of the parsley, and if you were to have these unadulterated bits of pure scientific knowledge concisely expressed by the most capable of living poets, you would have an awkward and incomplete summation of the Sermon on the Mount. And it would suffer immeasurably through comparison. For nearly two thousand years the Christian world has been holding in its hands the complete answer to its restless and fruitless yearnings. Here … rests the blueprint for successful human life with optimum mental health and contentment”–J.T. Fisher and L.S. Hawley, A Few Buttons Missing.

“When Christ died, we died in Him and with Him. Therefore, the old life should have no hold on us today. ‘I am crucified with Christ’ (Gal. 2:20)”–Warren W. Wiersbe.

“If I had known when I was shot down that I would be there more than seven years, I would have died of despondency, of despair. But I didn’t. It was one minute at a time, one hour, one week, one year and so on. If you look at it like that, anybody can do anything”–Jeremiah Denton, Vietnam Prisoner of War and former Senator from Alabama.
