Peace ought not be regarded the height of civilization, else like barbarians we forever battle for peace.

The love of conflict is most evident when opposing forces join sides to defeat the peacemaker.

Peaceful disputes are maintained when men sincerely believe that they are morally, logically correct about the issues at hand. It is when neither side is really certain that wars are instigated.

A part of me genuinely wanted to be the worst because I was so sick of everyone fighting to be the best.

I am not convinced of the argument, 'I want to believe; it is only those awful Christians I hate. They get in the way of my belief.' If you hate Christians more than you love Christ, you do not love Christ. It comes to mind the question, 'If you do not love your brother or sister whom you have seen, how can you love God whom you have not seen?

These days when Christians bicker they exaggerate passion into a legalistic belief and prosperity into a lukewarm belief.
