Quotes for Reflection

In the past couple of days I've been using a resource that I used a lot in my Carson Newman days for papers and as funny as it sounds Instant Messenger away messages. The resource is quoteland.com.

Here are a few that I have run by that I found very insightful and gave pause for reflection.

Blaise Pascal:

"In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't."

"Human beings must be known to be loved, but God must be loved to be known."

C.S. Lewis:

"There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way."

Augustine of Hippo:

"There remains a restlessness within us, until we find our rest in God."

John Calvin:

"No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief."
