taken from my collection of quotes....  just some stuff that grabs at me these days:

***********************************
"Reasonableness alone would not move the heart and engage the self, convey a sense of God's actuality, or motivate anyone to new action.  Reasonableness did not change sinners into saints.  (Jonathan) Edwards sought therefore to make God real by making God perceptible, to make God perceptible by making God visible, and to make God visible by making God beautiful.  That 'excellency' of God was something that could not be seen at all without being appreciated.  He did not intend to leave any room for religious neutrality."  
~ Michael McClymond, Encounters with God (108).

"People fight because they do not know how to argue."
~GK Chesterton

God made the frog jump, but the frog prefers jumping.
~GK Chesterton, Orthodoxy (76).

"Confident hope breeds inward joy.  The man who knows that his hope of glory will never fail him because of the great love of God, of which he has tasted, that man will hear MUsic at Midnight."
~ Charles Hadden Spurgeon.
