Quotes

The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you. ― David Foster Wallace
When you love you wish to do things for. You wish to sacrifice for. You wish to serve. ― Ernest Hemingway
The most sublime act is to set another before you.― William Blake
In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice. ― Viktor E. Frankl
The triunity of God is the secret of His beauty. If we deny this, we at once have a God without radiance and without joy – and without humour! – a God without beauty. […] We shall never find happiness by looking at our prayers, our doings, or our feelings; it is what Jesus is, not what we are, that gives rest to the soul. If we would at once overcome Satan and have peace with God, it must be by “looking unto Jesus.” ― Michael Reeves
