“He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him, and so your faith and hope are in God.” — 1 Peter 1:20-21
Was That a Two-Minute Egg?
Recognized as one of the most brilliant and influential scientists of all time, Sir Isaac Newton is best known for his laws of gravitation. But that does not mean he was immune from the occasional senior moment. One day, his maid happened upon him staring, dumfounded, at a pot of water boiling on the stove. In the pot was his watch. In his hand was an egg.
Quotes attributed to Lord Chesterfield (a British statesman and man of letters, 1694 – 1773)
“An able man shows his spirit by gentle words and resolute actions.”
“I recommend you to take care of the minutes, for the hours will take care of themselves.”
“Firmness of purpose is one of the most necessary sinews of character, and one of the best instruments of success. Without it, genius wastes its efforts in a maze of inconsistencies.”
“The scholar, without good breeding, is a pedant; the philosopher, a cynic; the soldier, a brute; and every man disagreeable.”
