4. "The most rapturous delights you have ever had - in the beauty of a landscape, or in the pleasure of food, or in the fulfillment of a loving embrace - are like dewdrops compared to the bottomless ocean of joy that it will be see God face-to-face (1 John 3:1-3)."  Tim Keller

8.  "It is a good rule never to look into the face of a man until you have looked into the face of God." Charles Spurgeon

9.

10.  "When you look at any human being, you are seeing someone for whom someone has wept and prayer, or at someone for whom no one has wept and prayed. Either way, humanity."  Marilynne Robinson
