• If we insist on keeping hell (or even earth), we shall not see heaven; if we accept heaven, we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell. [C.S. Lewis]
  
  
• Deathbed repentance is like burning the candle of life in the service of the devil and then blowing the smoke in God’s face. [Billy Sunday]
