The Bible is like a telescope. If a man looks through his telescope, then he sees worlds beyond but if he looks at his telescope, then he does not see anything but that. The Bible is a thing to be looked through, to see that which is beyond but most people only look at it and so they see only the dead letter.

Temptations come on some people for the cleansing of previous sins, on other for the beautification of their current perfection, and on yet others, as preparation for things to come, except temptations, which are for the increase of a man's faith and virtue, as it was with Job.
Maximus the Confessor
Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance, and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale, but surely, surely, a great rich country like ours will see that those who are dependent on us are properly provided for.
Robert Falcon Scott
