“As long as he followed the fixed definition of obscure words such as spirit, will, freedom, essence, purposely letting himself go into the snare of words the philosophers set for him, he seemed to comprehend something. But he had only to forget the artificial train of reasoning, and to turn from life itself to what had satisfied him while thinking in accordance with the fixed definitions, and all this artificial edifice fell to pieces at once like a house of cards, and it became clear that the edifice had been built up out of those transposed words, apart from anything in life more important than reason.”
Leo Tolstoy

Barack Obama

C.S. Lewis

“Individuals play the game, but teams win championships.”
John C. Maxwell

“Who can tell us how to get along with each other better than God? Where can we turn for wisdom better than God’s Word, the Bible?”
