Reflection:

…humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.
~ Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), French mathematician and writer

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don’t mean to do harm; but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
~ T.S. Eliot

We must allow the Word of God to confront us, to disturb our security, to undermine our complacency and to overthrow our patterns of thought and behavior.
~John R.W. Stott (1921-2011), noted English clergyman and theologian

How much larger your life would be, if your self could become smaller in it.
~ G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936), English writer and journalist
