Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The
world owes you nothing. It was here first. – Mark Twain
Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of
infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is

glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out
the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of
his cell.
– C. S. Lewis
