"We should not ask, "What is wrong with the world?" for that diagnosis has already been given. Rather, we should ask, "What has happened to the salt and light?"

John R.W. Stott

Daca e slaba va suferi istoria lumii.)
Albert Schweitzer

“Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” (Legendele sunt mai mult decat adevarate; nu pentru ca ele ne spun ca dragonii exista, ci pentru ca ele ne spun ca dragonii pot fi infranti.)
G.K. Chesterton
"A prudent question is one-half of wisdom." (O intrebare prudenta e jumatate de intelepciune.)
