A city on firmer ground. ~Richard Ford

The natural mind is ever prone to reason, when we ought to believe; to be at work, when we ought to be quiet; to go our own way, when we ought steadily to walk on in God's ways, however trying to nature. ~George Muller

I must think things out for myself and try to understand them. ~Henrik Ibsen
