Topic: MAN
The way of a superior man is threefold:
Virtuous, he is free from anxieties;
Wise, he is free from perplexities;
Bold, he is free from fear.
~ Confucius ~
Comment: We are not born virtuous, wise, or bold. We are born sinners, stupid, and full of
fear. In Christ, we grow virtuous, wise, and full of courage to stand against the fear.
There wouldn't be half as much fun in the world if it weren't
for children and men, and there ain't a mite of difference
between them under their skins.
~ Ellen Glasgow ~
Comment: The best part of manhood is when you can be a boy again.
It is of dangerous consequence to represent to man how
near he is to the level of beasts, without showing him at
the same time his greatness. It is likewise dangerous to
let him see his greatness without his meanness. It is
more dangerous yet to leave him ignorant of either; but
very beneficial that he should be made sensible of both.
~ Blaise Pascal ~
Comment: The beast in you was taken to the Cross and crucified so you could turn away from
it. Will you?
