These more lengthy quotes than the ones found on my first quote page are, I think, well worth pondering over. They tend to be more substantial and less aphoristic.

There are difficulties in everything except eating pancakes, and nobody ought to be expected to untie all the knots in a net. He is the greatest fool of all who pretends to explain everything, and says he will not believe what he cannot understand.
- C. H. Spurgeon.

I find it impossible to avoid offending guilty men, for there is no way of avoiding it but by our silence or their patience; and silent we cannot be because of God's command, and patient they cannot be because of their guilt.
-Martin Luther

If Christianity should happen to be true -- that is to say, if its God is the real God of the universe -- then defending it may mean talking about anything and everything. Things can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is false, but nothing can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is true. All things not only may have something to do with the Christian God, but must have something to do with Him if He lives and reigns.
-G. K. Chesterton

Truth, what's that? The braggadocio of the pseudo intellectual who tries to be recognized as being intelligent because he's cynical. The cheapest form of pseudo intellectualism in the world is cynicism, anybody can be a cynic.
-R.C. Sproul

Advice to Young Preachers

Get your texts from God - your thoughts, your words, from God... It is not great talents God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God.
�A word spoken by you when your conscience is clear, and your heart full of God's Spirit, is worth ten thousand words spoken in unbelief and sin.'
-Robert Murray M'Cheyne

There has never been a state of atheists. You may travel over the world, and you may find cities without walls, without king, without mint, without theatre or gymnasium; but you will never find a city without God, without prayer, without oracle, without sacrifice. Sooner may a city stand without foundations, than a state without belief in the gods. This is the bond of all society and the pillar of all legislation.
-Plutarch

Religious truth is captive in a small number of little manuscripts which guard the common treasures, instead of expanding them. Let us break the seal which binds these holy things; let us give wings to truth that it may fly with the Word, no longer prepared at vast expense, but multitudes everlastingly by a machine which never wearies to every soul which enters life.
� Johann Gutenberg
