"I don't understand electricity---but I'm not going to sit in the dark until I do."

"Surely a God powerful enough to create the entire universe would be wise enough to make it look 3 + billion years old—so as to incorporate a mechanism by which to sort out believers from non-believers. Proof and faith are mutually exclusive: if you solely require scientific proof, you don’t have faith—if you have faith, you don’t solely require scientific proof."

 

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words."

    I Thessalonians 4:16-18
 

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast."

Ephesians 2:8-9

"For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."

John 3:20

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.
It takes a touch of genius— and a lot of courage— to move in the opposite direction."

    Albert Einstein

"But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness."

    1 Timothy 6: 9-11

"The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing."

Proverbs 20: 4

"Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain."

Proverbs 30: 8-9

"Low ability predicts poor performance in most jobs, but high ability is less related to performance. Low ability means the person simply does not have what it takes to handle the intricacies of the job. However, after a minimum level of ability has been reached, everyone can perform the tasks. Whether or not a person performs well is then a function of motivation." (Gorsuch, 1983, p.17-18)
