“As it is the sister of reading, so it is the mother of prayer. Though a man's heart be much indisposed to prayer, yet, if he can but fall into a meditation of God, and the things of God, his heart will soon come off to prayer....Begin with reading or hearing. Go on with meditation; end in prayer....Reading without meditation is unfruitful; meditation without reading is hurtful; to meditate and to read without prayer upon both, is without blessing.”
― William Bridge

“Is the distinction between living for Christ and dying for Him so great? Is not the second the logical conclusion of the first?”
― Elisabeth Elliot, Shadow of the Almighty: The Life and Testament of Jim Elliot

“Was there a voice that whispered in his ear that he had just passed the most solemn moment of his destiny, that there was no longer a middle course for him; that from now on, he would either be the best of men or he would be the worst of men; that he now had to rise higher, so to speak, than the bishop or fall even lower than the galley slave; that if he wanted to be good, he had to be an angel; that if he wanted to stay bad, he had to be a monster from hell?”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“Eternity shall be at once a great eye-opener and a great mouth-shutter." -Jim Elliot”
