"A holy man is not merely a man placed upon an eminence whence the vast view spreads out on every side onward to Canaan itself, but he is a man gifted with keen clear vision who can make use of that lofty position for surveying fully the kingdom of which he has been made the heir."
-Horatius Bonar, The Eternal Day
"We are half-hearted creatures,
fooling about with drink and sex and
ambition when infinite joy is offered us,
like an ignorant child who wants to go on
making mud pies in a slum because he
cannot imagine what is meant by the offer
of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily
pleased."
--C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
