The wrongness of the sinful act lies not merely in its nonconformity, or its departure from the accepted, appropriate way of behavior, but in an implicitly aggressive quality-a ruthlessness, a hurting, a breaking away from God and from the rest of humanity … alienation or (an) act of rebellion.
— Dr. Karl Menninger
Oh, what it were to be right sure of thee!
Sure that thou art, and the same as thy son, Jesus!
Oh, faith is deeper, wider than the sea,
Yea, than the blue of heaven that ever flees us!
Yet simple as the cry of sore-hurt child,
Or as his shout, with sudden gladness wild,
When home from school he runs, till morn set free.
— George MacDonald
Today’s witness bears a striking resemblance to Jack Donaghy, both physically and in composure. Like, to the point I expect him to begin his sentences with “Lemon” and tell us all that Dick Cheney is an American hero.
I didn’t lie, Kenneth. I massaged the truth.
— Jack Donaghy
Bill, it was a different time. It was before they knew the Russians were incompetent.

You don’t see Michael Moore making Fast Food Nation because that man loves himself a cheeseburger.

Just saw a midget with no legs jumping on a trampoline.
— A text from my wife, who is currently at the Britney Spears concert.
Time to piss on the fire and call in the dogs.
— An attorney in my deposition, signifying he was almost through with his questioning.
If I could have my ministry over again, I would talk more about God. Not about God’s works or God’s ways, God’s power or God’s bounty. But about God’s very self—God’s omnipresence, God’s omniscience, God’s omnipotence; God’s unutterable goodness, God’s ineffable holiness, God’s splendour, God’s glory, God’s love. For if I could make people very sure of God, they would soon hurry to that divine Saviour who is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God by Him.
— FW Boreham
I can be so rich in my own poverty, or in the awareness of the fact that I am nobody, that I will never be a disciple of Jesus. Or I can be so rich in the awareness that I am somebody that I will never be a disciple. Am I willing to be destitute and poor even in my sense of awareness of my destitution and poverty? If not, that is why I become discouraged. Discouragement is disillusioned self-love, and self-love may be love for my devotion to Jesus— not love for Jesus Himself.
— Oswald Chambers
