I'm in a 'random quote' sort of mood, so here are something things to ponder...
"Asked whether Jesus was his 'personal savior,' a monk said, 'No, I like to share him.'" --quoted in the Christian Century magazine
"Only when Christian faith in God is lost do people feel compelled to make use of all means--even criminal--to force victory of their cause...[even] torture."
-- Dietrich Bonhoeffer in "Ethics"--Pastor/writer/martyr (executed in death camp by the Nazi's)
"When Christians turn to the law, public policy, and politics as the last resort, they have essentially given up on a desire to persuade their opponents. They want the patronage of the state and its coercive power to rule the day." --James Davison Hunter, CT (5/2010)
"For every complicated problem there is a simple solution; and it is always wrong!"
--Heard quoted on the radio
"Our government declares war promiscuously--on drugs, poverty, cancer, environmental problems, etc.--but never actually goes to war." -- George Will (Newsweek, 7/5/10)
"The fact that anybody can now say anything publicly does not mean that anything anybody says is worth hearing." -- Jon Meacham, Newsweek Editor
"Life must be lived forward, but understood backward."--Soren Kierkegaard
And finally, to end on an ironic note:
"Millions who long for immortality don't know what to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon."
