“I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever: that considering numbers, nature and natural means only, a revolution of the wheel of fortune, an exchange of situation, is among possible events: that it may become probable by supernatural interference.”
Thomas Jefferson, Notes On the State of Virginia
“Do not be deceived, for God is not mocked. What a man sows, so shall he reap.”
Gal 6:7
“‘Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to man, but to God.’ When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and breathed his last. And a great fear came upon all who heard of this. Some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, carried him out, and buried him.”
Acts 5:4-6
“Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world.”
Teresa d’Ávila
