"Our lives are full of supposes. Suppose this should happen, or
suppose that should happen; what could we do; how could we
bear it? But, if we are living in the high tower of the dwelling place
of God, all these supposes will drop out of our lives. We shall be
quiet from the fear of evil, for no threatenings of evil can penetrate
into the high tower of God."
- Hannah Whitall Smith

of the disease of fearing."
- Charles Spurgeon
"It is better to make a thousand failures than to be too cowardly
to ever undertake anything."

cures another." - William Gurnall
