“To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world.” -Karl Barth-
There is a story of a child telling her teacher that she was drawing a picture of God.
“But, no one knows what God looks like,” explained the teacher.
Nonplused at that claim, the child said, “well they will when I’m through.” 
“On the basis of the eternal will of God we have to think of EVERY HUMAN BEING, even the oddest, most villainous or miserable, as one to whom Jesus Christ is Brother and God is Father; and we have to deal with him on this assumption. If the other person knows that already, then we have to strengthen him in the knowledge. If he does not know it yet or no longer knows it, our business is to transmit this knowledge to him.” -Karl Barth-

" Although I am a conservative, I am not a ‘throne and altar’ conservative. Nor am I the sort of conservative who thinks that everything traditional trumps everything newfangled. (The conservative’s presumption in favor of the traditional is defeasible .) And of course it is silly to think that conservatives oppose change; it is just that we don’t confuse change with change for the better." - BV

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
