Time is of no account with great thoughts. They are as fresh today as when they first passed through their authors minds, ages ago. Samuel Smiles		Friday Jun 12, 2026

Selected Quote

The Earth reminded us of a Christmas tree ornament hanging in the blackness of space. As we got farther and farther away it diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful marble you can imagine. That beautiful, warm, living object looked so fragile, so delicate, that if you touched it with a finger it would crumble and fall apart. Seeing this has to change a man, has to make a man appreciate the creation of God and the love of God.
