Many know how I love to collect quotes...I have done this since I was a middle school teacher. I realize the danger of taking things out of context, but sometimes the seed in a line or two is just too good. Also, I think that some of these seeds lead folks to reading the full piece to see a grander picture. So with that in mind, here are some new ones:
...Christ did not appoint professors, but followers. If Christianity ... is not reduplicated in the life of the person expounding it, then he does not expound Christianity, for Christianity is a message about living and can only be expounded by being realized in men's lives. --Soren Kierkegaard
Sometimes we don't need another chance to express how we feel or to ask someone to understand our situation. Sometimes we just need a firm kick in the pants. An unsmiling expectation that if we mean all these wonderful things we talk about and sing about, then lets see something to prove it. --Dietrich Bonhoeffer
To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul. --Simone Weil
