God’s love: Circumstances may appear to wreck our lives and God’s plans, but God is not helpless among the ruins. Our broken lives are not lost or useless. God’s love is still working. He comes in and takes the calamity and uses it victoriously, working out his wonderful plan of love.

— Eric Liddell, The Disciplines of the Christian Life

Goals: Have a great aim—have a high standard—make Jesus your ideal ... make him an ideal not merely to be admired but also to be followed. — Eric Liddell, - Citation Unknown.

Success: In a world where success is the measure and justification of all things, the figure of him who was sentenced and crucified remains a stranger. — Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Ethics

Character: It is not only what is said that matters, but also the man who says it.

— Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Ethics

Martyrdom: The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.
