“Many Christians are reluctant to become involved in public affairs because politics is a ‘dirty business,’ but the same people are generally quite happy to go into business life, which is in its way just as ‘dirty.’ If the dubious practices and moral compromises of every walk of life were dissected and made known with the glare of publicity which shines on the activities of politicians, then those who like to think that they can keep their hands clean would have very few professions to choose from.” -John Lawrence: “Hard Facts” (1958)

That alone completes a spirit and blesses it, - to love Him, the spring of spirits.” -Robert Leighton: as quoted in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert: “Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers” (1895), page 449

“Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful. Beauty is God’s hand-writing - a way-side sacrament; welcome it in every fair face, every fair sky, every fair flower, and thank for it Him, the fountain of all loveliness, and drink it in, simply and earnestly, with all your eyes; it is a charmed draught, a cup of blessing.” -Parson Lot (pseudonym of Charles Kingsley): ‘The National Gallery’ published in “Politics for the People” (6 May 1848), page 5
