“Learn about the incorruptible King, and know his heroes who never inflict slaughter on the peoples.”

For it is really better for us not to know a thing, because [God] has not revealed it to us, than to know it according to man’s wisdom, because he has been bold enough to assume it.

How many men of rank (to say nothing of common people) have been delivered from devils, and healed of diseases!

See how these Christians love one another.

Men remain in ignorance as long as they hate, and they hate unjustly as long as they remain in ignorance.

You can judge the quality of their faith from the way they behave. Discipline is an index to doctrine.

Nature soaks every evil with either fear or shame.

The nature of rumor is well known to all. It was your own poet who said: ‘Rumor, an evil surpassing all evils in speed.’

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

Arguments about Scripture achieve nothing but a stomachache and a headache.

Daily, every moment, prayer is necessary to men.

Where our joy is, there should our work be.

I believe because it is absurd.

The more you mow us down, the more numerous we grow; the blood of Christians is seed.

You can’t undo anything you’ve already done, but you can face up to it. You can tell the truth. You can seek forgiveness. And then let God do the rest.

The Christian does not hurt even his enemy.

The pleasure of those who injure you lies in your pain. Therefore they will suffer if you take away their pleasure by not feeling pain.

Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.

We need not take refuge in supernatural gods to explain our saints and sages and heroes and statesmen, as if to explain our disbelief that mere unaided human beings could be that good or wise.

One day my grandson said to me, grandpa were you a hero in the war? And i said to him no I’m not a hero, but I have served in a company full of them.

It doesn’t take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.

If you are not the hero of your story, you need to change it.

Endure and overcome. Pay no heed to what others have done. Unless they have achieved unspeakable things. Unless they have vision, see the way you see. Rather die on your sword a hero, than die on your knees.

My mother was and will always remain my greatest hero.

Salute to all the Firefighters around the world true heroes.
