A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain.
Samuel Langhorne (Mark Twain) Clemens

If a lack of empirical foundations is a defect of the theory of logical probability, it is also a defect of deductive logic.
David Stove
There's a light that is shining in the heart of a man,
it's the light that was shining when the world began.
There's a light that is shining in the Turk and the Jew
and a light that is shining, friend, in me and in you.Sydney Carter
To remember everything is a great thing to the understanding; that love hides a multitude of sins is foolishness to it. Or should we deprive ourselves of this comfort by sensibly wanting to measure out love, so to speak, by wanting to portion it out as compensation for particular sins and in this way continue in the sins? Should we shut ourselves out from love; if we continue in love, who is it, then, who accuses? Or is not the love in a person that hides a multitude of sins from himself the same love that out of love hides a multitude of sins? p. 77
