Wealth without work,
Pleasure without conscience,
Knowledge without character,
Commerce without morality,
Science without humanity,
Worship without sacrifice,
Politics without principles.

Mohandas K. Gandhi:

Evil, being negative, as is punishment, neither can stand eternal. –John Scotus Erigena (Irish church leader, 875)

It becomes morally impossible for all things to be both subject to Jesus Christ and yet sinfully rebellious against Him at the same time! --Charles P. Schmitt, "The Unending Triumph of Jesus Christ"

The Father willed through Christ to reconcile the universe once more unto Himself, and so to restore all things whatsoever and wheresoever they be.– Dr. John Lightfoot on Col. 1:19,20.

God must be accomplishing a design invariable and without the shadow of turning, the design to save every one of us everlastingly. –Florence Nightingale

“The restoration of the whole human race to purity and happiness.” This benevolent doctrine—which not only goes far as to solve the great problem of moral and physical evil, but which would, if received more generally, tend to soften the spirit of uncharitableness, so fatally prevalent among Christian sects—was maintained by that great light of the early church, Origen, and has not wanted supporters among more modern theologians. –Thomas Moore 1779-1852

God created all things and mankind for the sake of manifesting His glory. Today, believers are manifesting little somethings of Christ. But one day, all things shall manifest Christ because the whole universe shall be filled with Him. In creating all things, God desires that all things will manifest Christ. --Watchman Nee, "God's Plan and the Overcomers"

Some misguided individuals have argued that the reconciliation of all "things" does not mean men or beings. But pray, tell me, what "things" in the whole vast universe, apart from men and other creatures, are described in the Word of God as "enemies" of God, "alienated" from God, "blasphemers" of God, "haters" of God, etc. in need of reconciliation? --J. Preston Eby

If Christ died for all, as Mr. Wesley taught, it will soon appear a necessary consequence that all shall be saved. –Benjamin Rush, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, 1745-1813

The Reformer Martin Luther had hope for all. In his letter to Hanseu Von Rechenberg in 1522, Luther wrote: "God forbid that I should limit the time of acquiring faith to the present life. In the depth of the Divine mercy there may be opportunity to win it in the future.

Tom feeley (information clearinghouse) had 2 excellent quotes again:
Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to think, and this they consider freedom.": Oswald Spengler - (1880-1936) Source: The Decline of the West, 1926


"We allow the most atrocious lies uttered by political and moral prostitutes to go unchallenged. These lies are endlessly recycled in the commercial media until they become ingrained in the public conscience as truth. Worse than burying our heads in the sand, we bury them up our collective ass. How do you like the view?: Charles Sullivan

and:
“If you think we can’t change the world, It just means you're not one of those that will.” ~Jacque Fresco

What if you're depressed and anxious?
Then you are not living in the present. Depression comes from your past, and anxiety comes from your future. These things shouldn't exist if you are in the present. The present is where you don't worry about the past or the future, it is a place where changes are made to the past and the future. In my personal experience, I'm thinking I'm coming to realize that most people's major malfunctions come from two sources: either fear of having to live or fear of having to die. Somewhere in the middle of all that is a subset of fear of mistakes/failure. Being in the present is about what you do in the next hour on this day, not what you planned to do yesterday or wish to do tomorrow. Yesterday is about burned bridges and tomorrow...we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. For the present, we should keep our eyes on the road we're on now, because life is icy and there's ditches everywhere...


Regrets are pointless, and worrying really works: 98% of the stuff you worry about never happens...

And now, this...

When streets are paved with gold for people to walk over, gold will stop walking over people...;)
