William Golding famous quote #24

I find it very difficult to talk here now because Im watching the sea all the time. The sea always makes me watch it all the time. Ive spent hours and hours not just on the sea but just watching wave after wave come in. If its an image of anything I think its an image of our own unconscious the unconscious of our own minds... or you can put it the other way around and that is that we have a sea in us. After all we are sea creatures that learnt to walk on the land are we not And perhaps one way or another we go back to it. Every night when we dream we go back into that kind of depths and that kind of beauty and monstrosity and mystery. So really the sea is not a single image it can really image almost anything that the human mind can discover.

Richard Llewellyn quote #293 from How Green Was My Valley

Worry my son...I am not worried now and I never have or will. You must learn to tell worry from thought and thought from prayer. Sometimes a light will go from your life...and your life becomes a prayer till you are strong enough to stand under the weight of your own thought again.

But being overborne with numbers and nobody daring to face about stretching out his hands to heaven Romulus prayed to Jupiter to stop the army and not to neglect but maintain the Roman cause now in extreme danger. The prayer was no sooner made than shame and respect for their king checked many the fears of the fugitives changed suddenly into confidence.

Layton Talbert famous quote #388

Gods fundamental goal for believers is not to protect us from harm or suffering to make us comfortable or to benefit from our service. You can biblically sum up Gods primary aim for your whole life in one uncomfortable word change. Ironic as it may sound change is the one constant that God purposes for every believer regardless of circumstances - whether you are in ministry or in a secular job married or single healthy or handicapped chronically ill or terminally diseased. Gods immediate and ongoing purpose for every Christian in time and on earth is to change us to make us like Himself to conform us to the image of His Son.
