And to do that, one needs distance (The Great Quotes)

It’s impossible to be satisfied in your marriage if you don’t have a standard that is biblical; that standard is always your spouse (The Great Quotes)
You will see that the things you desire most are the very things that bring you the greatest sorrow (The Great Quotes)
The amount of violations of human rights in a country is always an inverse function of the amount of complaints about human rights violations heard from there. The greater the number of complaints being aired, the better protected are human rights in that country (The Great Quotes)

In my small way, I preserved and catalogued, and dipped into the vast ocean of learning that awaited, knowing all the time that the life of one man was insufficient for even the smallest part of the wonders that lay within.
