Is a faith that is never challenged truly faithful? Is a faith that cannot stand up against arguments a worthwhile faith?
In governing, don’t try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family, be completely present. When you are content to simply be yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
Lao Tzu, Laozi, 老子
우리들이 가장 잘 알고 있는 것은 우습게도 이제까지 우리들이 한번도 배우지 못했던 것들이다. (The things we know best are the things we haven’t been taught.)
Korean Proverb, 한국 속담
He charged the ranks of the goblins of Mount Gram in the Battle of the Green Fields, and knocked their king Golfimbul’s head clean off with a wooden club. It sailed a hundred yards through the air and went down a rabbit-hole, and in this way the battle was won and the game of Golf invented at the same moment.
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
Defend the weak, protect both young and old, never desert your friends. Give justice to all, be fearless in battle and always ready to defend the right.
Brian Jacques, Lord Brocktree
Progress means getting nearer to the place you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning, then to go forward does not get you any nearer.
If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man.
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

When I lay these questions before God I get no answer. But a rather special sort of ‘No answer.’ It is not the locked door. It is more like a silent, certainly not uncompassionate, gaze. As though He shook His head not in refusal but waiving the question. Like, ‘Peace, child; you don’t understand.
C.S. Lewis
Imagination is a gift given to us from God and each one of us use it differently.
