Tertullian

We have heard of many people who trusted God too little, but have you ever heard of anyone who trusted Him too much?

Hudson Taylor

I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy – ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of that joy. ... I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined.
