I had accumulated more quotes than I realized, so even though it’s only been two weeks, here’s another I Wish I’d Said That.

• Often we judge ourselves by our intentions and everyone else by their actions. - John Bevere in The Bait of Satan

• I've got vision and the rest of the world wears bi-focals. - Paul Newman as Butch Cassidy in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

• It is important to tell at least from time to time the secret of who we truly and fully are - even if we tell it only to ourselves - because otherwise we run the risk of losing track of who we truly and fully are and little by little come to accept instead the highly edited version which we put forth in hope that the world will find it more acceptable than the real thing. - Frederick Buechner in Telling Secrets

• Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently. - Henry Ford as quoted by John Maxwell in The Success Journey

• We do not honor our founders by blindly perpetuating in a changing world what they once did . . . we honor them by doing for our time and culture what they did for theirs. - George Hunter in Church for the Unchurched as quoted by Mark Mittelberg in Building a Contagious Church

• Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. - John Adams as quoted by Dinesh D'Souza in What's So Great About Christianity?
