The soul that is attached to anything, however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of Divine union. For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast; for until the cord be broken, the bird cannot fly.
The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.

The more the diamond is cut, the brighter it sparkles; and in what seems hard dealing, there God has no end in view but to perfect His people.
-Thomas Guthrie

The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.
-Socrates
No matter how adverse the circumstances are, never step back when it comes
to "performing your duties" or honouring your responsibilities. If the body wears
out, fuel it with the energy of the mind; if the mind also gets exhausted, pull it
through with the energy of the soul... But no matter what...finish the task taken
in hand.
-Deep Trivedi

Patriot: the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about.
-Mark Twain
