It's said that Abraham Lincoln once sized up the case of a prospective client as follows:
"You have a good case, technically, but in terms of justice and equity, it's got problems. So you'll have to look for another lawyer to handle the case, because the whole time I'd be up there talking to the jury, I'd be thinking, 'Lincoln, you're a liar!' and I might just forget myself and say it out loud."
"Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither."
- C.S. Lewis
"If God would concede me His omnipotence for 24 hours, you would see how many changes I would make in the world. But if He gave me His wisdom too, I would leave things as they are."
- J.M.L. Monsabre
The good news of peace at Christmas is God's offer of peace between Him and all who will enter into it. Get it!
