" How frequently in the course of our lives,the evil we seek most to shun,and which,when we are fallen into it,is the most dreadful to us,is oftentimes the very means or door of our deliverance,by which alone we can be raised again from the affliction we are fallen into." - Robinson Crusoe
"Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves ofthe sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of theocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass bythemselves without wondering." ~St. Augustine
