Quotes
It is never too late to become the person you want to be.
-George Eliot
Courageously, we need to articulate new, more human ways to live. We should take exception to the modern psychosis that defines people by how much they can produce or what they earn. We should experiment with bold alternatives to the present death-giving system. The Spiritual Discipline of simplicity is not a lost dream, but a recurrent vision throughout history. It can be recaptured today. It must be.
-Richard Foster
God wills that we should push into His presence and live our whole life there. This is to be known to us in conscious experience. It is more than a doctrine to be held; it is a life to be enjoyed every moment of every day.
- A.W. Tozer
To pray, I think, does not mean to think about God in contrast to thinking about other things, or to spend time with God instead of spending time with other people. Rather, it means to think and live in the presence of God. All our actions must have their origin in prayer. Prayer is not an isolated activity; it takes place in the midst of all the things and affairs that keep us active. In prayer a "self-centered monologue" becomes a "God-centered dialogue."
- Henri Nouwen
