"Mockery is the fume of little hearts." 
                Tennyson, Idylls of the King, 1. 628.


"One of the few things I know about writing is this:  spend it all...every time.  Do not hoard what seems good for a later time...give it all, give it now.  The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now.  Something more will arise for later, something better.  These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water...Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you.  You open your safe and find ashes."   
                Annie Dillard, The Writing Life, 79.


"Even as Israel had been miraculously fed during the time of Moses, now was bread provided in the desert by this new prophet."  
                James Talmage, Jesus the Christ, 335.


(Quoting Martin Luther): "...there was never in heaven or earth a more loving, familiar, or milder man, in words, works, and demeanor, especially towards poor, sorrowful, and tormented consciences."
But then Gossip goes on to say: 
    "These aspects of the Master...fill our minds - too exclusively...But the Scriptures makes it plain that those who lived with him were conscious that, along with all that, there was also in him something awesome, tremendous, superhuman, something that awoke in them what was a kind of dread.  That is too apt to be forgotten."     
                Arthur John Gossip, Interpreter's Bible, Vol. 8, 652.

 If we fix our eyes on Jesus, we may walk over swelling waves of disbelief, unterrified in rising winds of doubt.  If we turn our eyes away and instead look at the power and fury of the destructive elements around us, we too shall sink.  If we listen while we are in the deep, IN THE DEEP, in the storms and darkness, we can hear those beautiful words:
                 "Wherefore didst thou doubt?
                   It is I.  Be not afraid."

             QUOTES FOR MATTHEW 13, 18; MARK 4; LUKE 10

   
  What if Earth
        Be but the shadow of Heav'n, and things therein
        Each to other like, more than on earth is thought?
                        John Milton, Paradise Lost, Bk V, I. 574


The Rabbis said:  "We are not to contrive the death of the Gentiles, but if they are in any danger of death we are not bound to deliver them, e.g. if any of them fall into the sea you need not take him out, for such a one is not thy neighbor."  
                        J. R. Dummelow, A Commentary, 751.


"Ever keep in exercise...mercy...Forgive...even our enemy before he repent or ask forgiveness...the Father will then be equally merciful to us."
                        Joseph Smith, History of the Church, 3, 383.

"We are sailing in this life as through a sea, and the wind rises...[but] Jesus is sleeping in thee...thy faith in Jesus is slumbering in thy heart...Rouse Him and say Master, we perish.  He will awaken, that is, thy faith will return to thee..."  
                        St. Augustine


 Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
                from "The Second Coming" by William Butler Yeats
