While there’s life, there’s hope.
—Cicero
Our span of life is brief, but is long enough for us to live well and honestly.
—Cicero
The man who is willing to settle for barren life will never experience the joy of the Holy Spirit or the deep satisfaction of fruitful living
—AW Tozer
The Holy Spirit whispers faithfully, reminding us of the Christ of God … walking in flesh, God Almighty come to live among us & to save
—AW Tozer
The Church lives in a hostile world. The power of the Holy Spirit is, therefore, not optional but necessary. Without it the children of God simply cannot live the life of heaven on earth.
—AW Tozer
To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?
—Cicero
He who has been smitten with the love of God & the wonder of the cross can never again be tolerant in things that touch his soul & the souls of his fellow men. He will live beside, be patient with, minister to, pray for & love anyone, but never will he compromise the truth
—Tozer

—Cicero
Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what’s left and live it properly. What doesn’t transmit light creates its own darkness.
—Marcus Aurelius
Our life is what our thoughts make it.
—Marcus Aurelius
The human soul is not a hard-baked vessel with a fixed size; it is a living thing capable of growth & expansion as it interacts with the gracious actions of the Holy Spirit.
—AW Tozer
Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretence.
—Marcus Aurelius
Everywhere across whatever sorrows of which our life is woven, some radiant joy will gaily flash past.
—Nikolai Gogol
We might well pray for God to invade & conquer us, for until He does we remain in peril. The strength of our flesh is an ever present danger to our souls. Deliverance can come only by the defeat of our old life. Safety & peace come only after we have been forced to our knees.
If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.
—Ernest Hemingway
