Rollo May quotes

We must be fully committed, but we must also be aware at the same time that we might possibly be wrong.

Commitment is healthiest when it is not without doubt, but in spite of doubt.

Ioann Kronshtadtskiy quotes

Christ wishes to raise men up to heaven, and has given them all the means to attain this; whilst the Devil, who himself for his pride was cast down from heaven into the dominions of the air, wishes by every means to attach men to earthly,- sensual, transitory things, and, in order to attain this end, he employs the most powerful, most prodigious means.

Ioann Kronshtadtskiy quotes
