Work as though everything depended on you." More In God "Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us."― Blaise Pascal "But I know God has big stuff planned that ultimately doesn’t have anything to do with me."― Michael W. Smith "God is not a hypothesis derived from logical assumptions, but an immediate insight, self-evident as light. He is not something to be sought in the darkness with the light of reason. He is the light."― Abraham Joshua Heschel
