“He that studies only men, will get the body of knowledge without the soul; and he that studies only books, the soul without the body. He that to what he sees, adds observation, and to what he reads, reflection, is in the right road to knowledge, provided that in scrutinizing the heart of others, he neglects not his own.”
― Caleb Colton

More Quotes
"Our world is hungry for genuinely changed people. Leo Tolstoy observes, 'Everybody thinks of changing humanity and nobody thinks of changing himself!' Let us be among those who believe that the inner transformation of our lives is a goal worthy of our best effort!"
- Richard Foster, Celebration of Discipline
​
"A popular teaching today instructs us to praise God for the various difficulties that come into our lives, asserting that there is great transforming power in thus praising God. In its best form, such teaching is a way of encouraging us to look up the road a bit through the eye of faith and see what will be. It affirms in our hearts the joyful assurance that God takes all things works them for the good of those who love him. In its worst form, this teaching denies the vileness of evil and baptizes the most horrible tragedies as the will of God. Scripture commands us to live in a spirit of thanksgiving in the midst of all situations; it does not command us to celebrate the presence of evil." - Richard Foster, Celebration of Discipline
​
"Fasting reveals what controls us. We are not so much abstaining from food as we are feasting on God." - John Piper
​
"True godliness does not turn men out of the world, but enables them to live better in it and excites their endeavors to mend it." - William Penn
