John Dewey

The grand paradox of our society is this: we magnify man’s right but we minimize his capacities.

The more Christ fulfills the cravings of our souls, the more he changes our taste capacities from the inside out. The more we walk with him, the more we want him. The more we taste of him, the more we enjoy him. And this transforms how we live and what we live for.

To measure up to all that is demanded of him, a man must overestimate his capacities
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The common eye sees only the outside of things, and judges by that, but the seeing eye pierces through and reads the heart and the soul, finding there capacities which the outside didn't indicate or promise, and which the other kind of eye couldn't detect.
Mark Twain
