A. W. Tozer
“We are not victims by nature...we are programmed to be victims...for good reason...if we truly embraced our power, we would never be controlled. Live WISE~”

“Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It is the product of Faith, Strength, Energy, Will, Sympathy, Justice, Imagination, and the triumph of principle. It will never be achieved by passivity and quietism.”
Dorothy Thompson
“Next to love, sympathy is the divinest passion of the human heart”
