Jonathan  Dee
“But don’t come around here with your Good Samaritan cosplay bullshit.”
Jonathan Dee, Sugar Street

Hans Boersma
“The modesty that theology needs is the recognition that we cannot rationally comprehend God.”
Hans Boersma, Heavenly Participation: The Weaving of a Sacramental Tapestry

Wilhelm Röpke
“We need a combination of supreme moral sensitivity and economic knowledge. Economically ignorant moralism is as objectionable as morally callous economism. Ethics and economics are two equally difficult subjects, and while the former needs discerning and expert reason, the latter cannot do without humane values.”
Wilhelm Röpke, A Humane Economy: The Social Framework of the Free Market

Nyanaponika Thera
“Love, but not the sensuous fire that burns, scorches and tortures, that inflicts more wounds than it cures—flaring up now, at the next moment being extinguished, leaving behind more coldness and loneliness than was felt before. Rather, love that lies like a soft but firm hand on the ailing beings, ever unchanged in its sympathy, without wavering, unconcerned with any response it meets. Love that is comforting coolness to those who burn with the fire of suffering and passion; that is life-giving warmth to those abandoned in the cold desert of loneliness, to those who are shivering in the frost of a loveless world; to those whose hearts have become as if empty and dry by the repeated calls for help, by deepest despair.”
Nyanaponika Thera, The Four Sublime States and the Practice of Loving Kindness

“A little while, we are in eternity; before we find ourselves there, let us do much for Christ.”
Ann Hasseltine Judson, Ann Judson: A Missionary Life for Burma
