Forbidden or Permitted
August 16, 2006 at 1:37 pm (Christianity, Quotes, Writing)
“The truth is, of course, that the curtness of the Ten Commandments is an evidence, not of the gloom and narrowness of a religion, but, on the contrary, of its liberality and humanity. It is shorter to state the things forbidden than the things permitted: precisely because most things are permitted, and only a few things are forbidden.” – G. K. Chesterton in ILN January 3, 1920

The Soul You Know
August 14, 2006 at 10:59 am (Christianity, Quotes, Writing)
“What can you ever really know of other people’s souls — of their temptations, their opportunities, their struggles? One soul in the whole of creation you do know: and it is the only one whose fate is placed in your hands. If there is a God, you are, in a sense, alone with Him. You cannot put Him off with speculation about your neighbors or memories of what you have read in books.” – C. S. Lewis from “Surprised By Joy”
