Memorable Quotes

“"This further delay is not unto death, but for the glory of God; that the son of God may be glorified."”
The Shepherd
“The Shepherd laughed too. "I love doing preposterous things," he replied. "Why, I don't know anything so exhilerating and delightful than turning weakness into strength and fear into faith, and that which has been marred into perfection."”
“"Whenever you are illing to obey me, Much-Afraid, and to follow the path of my choice, you will always be able to hear and recognize my voice, and when you hear it you must always obey. Remember also that it is always safe to obey my voice, even if it seems to call you to paths which lo;ok impossible or even crazy."”
The Shepherd

First Sentence
