Quotables - the stuff of life

"The great danger facing all of us...is that some day we may wake up and find that we have been busy with husks and trappings of life and have really missed life itself. That is what one prays one's friends may be spared--satisfaction with a life that...has in it no tingle or thrill that comes from a friendship with the Father."
--Phillips Brooks (1835-1893), Sermons
