So a gentleman must be ready to put names in speech, to put words into deeds. A gentleman is nowise careless of words.

You looked at me long enough to see something mysterioso under all the gruff and bluster. Thanks. Sometimes you get so close to someone you end up on the other side of them.

Elisabeth ElliotOver the years, there's been case after case when there were very narrow decisions that had to be made about whether to launch nuclear weapons in serious cases.

Noam ChomskyWhy pray for the Kingdom of God to come unless you have in your heart a desire and a willingness to aid in its establishment? Praying for His will to be done and then not trying to live it, gives you a negative answer at once.

It is the height of disloyalty to pray for God's will to be done, and then fail to conform our lives to that will.
