Quote of the Day

A fool soon makes up his mind, because there is so very little of it; but a wise man waits and considers.

 

Charles Spurgeon

Quote of the Day

I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has a difficulty in laying his hands upon it. Now the skilful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order; It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.

Quote of the Day

Those who think too much of themselves don’t think enough.

  

Amy Carmichael

Quote of the Day

All ignorance is invincible for us. No ignorance is invincible for the grace of God. The more we endeavor of ourselves to obtain wisdom, the nearer we approach to folly...not that this invincible ignorance excuses the sinner, otherwise there would be no sin in the world.

 

Martin Luther

Quote of the Day

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.

Charles Spurgeon

Quote of the Day

Postulating the nonexistence of God, atheism immediately commits the blunder of an absolute negation, which is self-contradictory. For, to sustain the belief that there is no God, it has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, "I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge."

Ravi Zacharias

Quote of the Day

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling 'darkness' on the wall of his cell... 

C. S. Lewis
