"Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probably reason why so few engage in it."
-- Henry Ford, 1929 (quoted in Susan Schaeffer Macaulay, "How to be your own selfish pig", Chariot Books, 1982, 15).

Here is comfort, high as heaven, stronger than death! What! Mercy for all? for Zaccheus, a public robber? for Mary Magdalene, a common harlot? Methinks I hear one say, “Then I, even I, may hope for mercy!” (from Wesley's sermon "Salvation by Faith", III.6; quoted in Derek J. Tidball, Builders & Fools: Leadership the Bible way. Leicester: Inter-Varsity Press, 1999, 31).
