yay, I love quotes!!!
Ok, I read this AWESOME, beautiful quote in my Philosophy textbook yesterday....
"Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime; therefore, we must be saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore, we must be saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we are saved by love."
(Reinhold Niebuhr, The Irony of American History, 1952)
