“One of these days some simple soul will pick up the book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed.”

Leonard Ravenhill (1907–1994) British writer

“One of the very few things that I know I believe strongly is that we must learn how to make a better world out of usable pasts rather than dreaming of infinite futures. It’s a very late-Enlightenment view that says that the only way to make a better future is to believe that the future will be better. Smarter people than me used to believe very differently and I think it is time to listen to them once again.”
