As in the case of painters, who have undertaken to give us a beautiful and graceful figure, which may have some slight blemishes, we do not wish then to pass over such blemishes altogether, nor yet to mark them too prominently. The one would spoil the beauty, and the other destroy the likeness of the picture.

Whatever may be the immediate gains and losses, the dangers to our safety arising from political suppression are always greater than the dangers to that safety arising from political freedom. Suppression is always foolish. Freedom is always wise. That is the faith, the experimental faith, by which we Americans have undertaken to live.
Alexander Meiklejohn
Image
Had it been published by a voice from heaven, that twelve poor men, taken out of boats and creeks, without any help of learning, should conquer the world to the cross, it might have been thought an illusion against all reason of men yet we know it was undertaken and accomplished by them.
Stephen Charnock

The life of money-making is one undertaken under compulsion, and wealth is evidently not the good we are seeking for it is merely useful and for the sake of something else.
Aristotle
Image
Without harmony in the State, no military expedition can be undertaken without harmony in the army, no battle array can be formed.
Sun Tzu

Those wars are unjust which are undertaken without provocation. For only a war waged for revenge or defence can actually be just.

It would be of course a low voltage spiritual life in which prayer was chiefly undertaken as a discipline, rather than as a way of co-labouring with God to accomplish good things and advancing his Kingdom purposes.
Dallas Willard
Image
Divine Providence is never wanting in things undertaken at Its command. Even though the whole world should rise up and destroy us, nothing could happen but what is pleasing to God. The less there is of man in affairs, the more there is of God.
