Thomas a Kempis

For God wills that we become perfectly obedient to himself, and that we transcend mere reason on the wings of burning love for him.

    I love this: ‘no one is easily weaned from his own opinions’.

    Rustin, yes I thought that was a great statement as well and so very true too.
