"For what does it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul?" - Jesus
"You parents--if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! If you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him." - Jesus
"In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch. " - King David of Israel
"Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding,
Who set its measurements? Since you know.
Or who stretched the line on it?
"On what were its bases sunk?
Or who laid its cornerstone,
When the morning stars sang together
And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
"Or who enclosed the sea with doors
When, bursting forth, it went out from the womb;
When I made a cloud its garment
And thick darkness its swaddling band,
And I placed boundaries on it
And set a bolt and doors,
And I said, 'Thus far you shall come, but no farther;
And here shall your proud waves stop'? "
- God, to Job.
"I find humanity increasingly amazing. There appears an image of a hill on mars that in just the right light to look somewhat like a human face, and thousands scream how it's now obvious we're not alone. Tell the same people about the wonders of creation, and they're very likely to chalk it up as a goofy accident of sorts."
