Who steals the goose from off the common,
Yet let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose.”

“Logic doesn't always hold up against the complexity of real life. Our equations fail us. Our formulas break down and reasons escape us. We carry blessing, and we carry curse. Life is paradox. It cannot always be categorized. Seemingly competing truths coexist. Humans are not creatures of either/or. We are creatures of both/and. And so is God.”
― Amanda Held Opelt, Holy Unhappiness: God, Goodness, and the Myth of the Blessed Life

“This matter of how best to interpret the term "day" in Genesis 1 is not one over which evangelical believers should quarrel; the point is, and all evangelical Christians accept this, that Genesis does teach that God is the creator of all which exists, that He effected this creation in six "days," and that He is a personal God embracing His entire creation in His providential care.”
― John Christian Wenger, Introduction to Theology

“A stern Scotch minister remarked concerning the game of golf, with a terrible solemnity of manner, "the man who plays golf—he neglects his business, he forsakes his wife, he forgets his God." He did not seem to realise that it is the chief aim of many a modern capitalist's life to forget all three.”
― Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Eugenics and other Evils
