"It is healthy to admit that you may be mistaken. Even the wisest person will be wrong sometimes. Wisdom without humility is an ugly thing." --Walter Albritton in Life is Short.
"There are stages in life when there is no storm, no crisis, when we do our human best; it is when a crisis arises that we instantly reveal upon whom we rely . . . God expects His children to be so confident in Him that in any crisis they are the reliable ones." ---Oswald Chambers
"We do not doubt a single instant that if God's people in church, camp ground and revival service, would leave out of their "programs" everything but this; if they would quit trying to cover all creation with their multiplied diversified services and meetings; if they would give Missions, Missionaries, Education, Church Extension, Colleges, Introduction and Showing Off of Prominent Men, and even Testimony Meetings, a rest for a while, and put the ten days in with a continuous, fervent, humble, importunate waiting on God for the Baptism, and outpouring of the Holy Ghost on the church and camp, we would have scenes rivaling Pentecost and results that would bring millions of souls to God, and send shocks of consternation and horror to the very center of the black heart of Hell." ---Beverly Carradine in A Box of Treasure.
"It is time to challenge the confident talk about the radical discontinuity between our generation and all preceding ones . . . We have, indeed, some education, but only the very immature suppose that we are consequently wise . . . It is time for someone to say clearly that the ultimate human situation has not changed at all . . . The truth is that modern man is overimpressed by his own achievements . . . Someone needs to say, 'Little man, don't take yourself quite so seriously.'" ---Elton Trueblood in The Incendiary Fellowship.
