—Marcus Aurelius

—Cicero
When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

To live is not to breathe but to act. It is to make use of our organs, our senses, our faculties, of all the parts of ourselves which give us the sentiment of our existence. The man who has lived the most is not he who has counted the most years but he who has most felt life.
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Many men & women who are troubled for their sin think God will be satisfied by their mourning. But mourning your heart out for 1,000 years will never satisfy the justice of God. Mourning will come to nothing, unless it leads
you to Jesus Christ for satisfaction of God’s justice.
—Jeremiah Burroughs
