People seek a challenge just as fire seeks to flame. -- Chinese proverb
We must remember the past, define the future, and challenge the present—wherever and however we can. It will take the rest of our lives even to begin. But then, what else have we to do? --Jane O’Reilly, U.S. feminist and humorist.
One of the most effective means of seduction that Evil has is the challenge to struggle. --Franz Kafka (1883–1924), Prague German Jewish author, novelist.
They had that special grace, that special spirit that says, “Give me a challenge and I’ll meet it with joy.” -- Ronald Reagan, 40th US President. In a speech made a few hours after the death of seven astronauts in the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger Jan 28, 1986
It has been said to me from time to time, that there is a God-shaped void within each of us, just waiting to be filled. I believe that’s true, and so does Joe Simpson. At every point of desperation and reaching out for help, his unbelief forced him to look inside. There was nothing. There was a void. He touched it, time and time again. Now, it’s amazing to me how anyone can go through such an incredible
event and not believe even a little bit. But, how incredible are our lives, and how many miracles do we encounter on our 70 year visit to this Earth? More than we think. Do we see God’s hand of provision? Do we believe? Or do we touch the void of self-sufficiency?
