"Hope is one of the Theological virtues. This means that a continual looking forward to the eternal world is not (as some modern people think) a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do. It does not mean that we are to leave the present world as it is. If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next." C.S. Lewis

"The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the LORD." Prov. 21:31

"Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people can be engaged in."Abraham Lincoln

"Each day we are becoming a creature of splendid glory or one of unthinkable horror." C.S. Lewis

"Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man... It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest. Once the element of competition is gone, pride is gone." C.S. Lewis

"The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it" Lawrence M. Krauss

"Nothing is wonderful except in the abnormal, and nothing is abnormal until we have grasped the norm." C.S. Lewis

"The human spirit will not even begin to try to surrender self-will as long as all seems to be well with it. Now error and sin both have this property, that the deeper they are the less their victim suspects their existence; they are masked evil. Pain is unmasked, unmistakable evil; every man knows that something is wrong when he is being hurt." C.S. Lewis

While we are living in the present, we must celebrate life every day, knowing that we are becoming history with every work, every action, every deed. Mattie Stepanek
