Selected Quotes from Patches of Godlight
None can love freedom heartily but good men; the rest love not freedom, but license.
—Milton
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee . . .
—Isaiah 26:3
God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us life so we overcome. The strain is the strength. Are you asking God to give you life and liberty and joy? He cannot, unless you will accept the strain. Immediately you face the strain, you will get the strength.
—Oswald Chambers, “My Utmost for His Highest”
As is our confidence, so is our capacity.
--William Hazlitt
Civilization and violence are antithetical concepts.
—Martin Luther King, Jr.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
—Edmund Burke
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
—Philippians 4:13
One man with courage makes a majority.
—Andrew Jackson
The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.
—Solomon
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
—St. Paul
Courage is not having the strength to go on; it is going on when you don’t have the strength. Industry and determination can do anything that genius and advantage can do and many things that they cannot.
—Theodore Roosevelt
