• When, as a child, I first opened my eyes on a Sunday-morning, a feeling of dismal anicipation, which began at least on the Friday,culminated. I knew what was before me, and my wish, if not my word, was "Would God it were evening!" It was no day of rest, but a day of texts, of catechisms (Watts'), of tracts about converted swearers, godly charwomen, and edifying deaths of sinners saved.... There was but one rosy spot, in the distance, all that day: and that was "bed-time," which never could come too early!

  Lewis Carroll

  Friday, Morning, Children

• Ancient worship . . . does truth. All one has to do is to study the ancient liturgies to see that liturgies clearly do truth by their order and in their substance. This is why so many young people today are now adding ancient elements to their worship. . . . This recovery of ancient practices is not the mere restoration of ritual but a deep, profound, and passionate engagement with truth—truth that forms and shapes the spiritual life into a Christlikeness that issues forth in the call to a godly and holy life and into a deep commitment to justice and to the needs of the poor.

  Robert E. Webber

• Many things about man are not very godly: whenever a person excretes feces, how can he be a god then? But it is even worse regarding the other feces we call sin: man still surely wants to retain this, and not excrete it. Now however, I must believe it: a person can be God and still excrete feces. Thus I teach you, excrete your feces and become gods.

  Friedrich Nietzsche

  Believe, Men, Want

• An innocent man is a sin before God. Inhuman and therefore untrustworthy. No man should live without absorbing the sins of his kind, the foul air of his innocence, even if it did wilt rows of angel trumpets and cause them to fall from their vines.

The main thing in one's own private world is to try to laugh as much as you cry.

• A Godly leader ... finds strength by realizing his weakness
  finds authority by being under authority
  finds direction by laying down his plans
  finds vision by seeing the needs of others
  finds credibility by being an example
  finds loyalty by expressing compassion
  finds honor by being faithful
  finds greatness by being a servant

• Near yonder copse, where once the garden smil'd,
  And still where many a garden flower grows wild,
  There, where a few torn shrubs the place disclose,
  The village preacher's modest mansion rose.
  A man he was to all the country dear,
  And passing rich with forty pounds a year;
  Remote from town's he ran his godly race,
  Nor e'er had chang'd nor wish'd to change his place;
  Unskilful he to fawn, or seek for power,
  By doctrines fashion'd to the varying hour;
  Far other aims his heart had learn'd to prize.
  More bent to raise the wretched than to rise.

  Oliver Goldsmith
