For now we see the beauty of God through a glass, darkly, but then face to face; now we appreciate only in part, but then we shall affirm and appreciate God, even as the living God has affirmed and appreciated us. So now our tasks are worship, mission, and management, these three; but the greatest of these is worship.

A knave would rather quarrel with a brother knave than with a fool, but he would rather avoid a quarrel with one honest man than with both.
