In the world at large, people are rewarded or punished in ways that are often utterly random. In the garden, cause and effect, labor and reward, are re-coupled. Gardening makes sense in a senseless world. By extension, then, the more gardens in the world, the more justice, the more sense is created.

Andrew Weil

Every child senses, with all the horse sense that's in him, that any parent is angry inside when children misbehave and they dread more the anger that is rarely or never expressed openly, wondering how awful it might be.

Benjamin Spock

I'm trying to make a case for those people who don't have a sense of belonging that they should have, that there is something really worthwhile in having a sense of belonging, and recasting and looking at our modern history.

Billy Bragg

Having a sense of purpose is having a sense of self. A course to plot is a destination to hope for.

Bryant H. McGill

One of the greatest evils of the day among those outside of prison is their sense of futility. Young people say, What is the sense of our small effort? They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time; we can be responsible only for the one action of the present moment.

Dorothy Day

The only sense that is common in the long run, is the sense of change and we all instinctively avoid it.

E. B. White

I have a fine sense of the ridiculous, but no sense of humor.

Edward Albee

The plain man is familiar with blindness and deafness, and knows from his everyday experience that the look of things is influenced by his senses but it never occurs to him to regard the whole world as the creation of his senses.

Ernst Mach

Organic architecture seeks superior sense of use and a finer sense of comfort, expressed in organic simplicity.

Frank Lloyd Wright

The overwhelming majority of Americans are possessed of two great qualities a sense of humor and a sense of proportion.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

The sense that someone else cares always helps because it is the sense of love.

George E. Woodberry

We differ, blind and seeing, one from another, not in our senses, but in the use we make of them, in the imagination and courage with which we seek wisdom beyond the senses.

Helen Keller

I never got a formal education. So my intellect is my common sense. I don't have anything else going for me. And my common sense opens the door to instinct.

Jerry Lewis

Faith is the sense of life, that sense by virtue of which man does not destroy himself, but continues to live on. It is the force whereby we live.

Leo Tolstoy

All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world: our sight, our touch, our memory. If they lie to us, then nothing can be trusted. And even if we do not believe, then still we cannot travel in any other way than the road our senses show us; and we must walk that road to the end.

Neil Gaiman

Not all are called to be artists in the specific sense of the term. Yet, as Genesis has it, all men and women are entrusted with the task of crafting their own life: in a certain sense, they are to make of it a work of art, a masterpiece.

Pope John Paul II

It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense.

Robert G. Ingersoll

Keep your sense of humor, my friend; if you don't have a sense of humor it just isn't funny anymore.

Wavy Gravy

There is a fundamental sense in which evil is not something that can be made sense of. The essence of evil is that it is something which is absurd, bizarre and irrational. It is the nature of evil to be inexplicable, an enigma and a stupidity.

3195. How Do We Forgive?

Matthew 18:21-35

Sermon

King Duncan

... with the person we cannot forgive. That is a high price to pay in order to hold on to resentment, anger and even hatred. But how, you may ask, how do we forgive those who have wronged us? How do we let go of the pain, the resentment, the sense of betrayal? We let go, first of all, by recognizing that we ourselves have been forgiven. We have been forgiven, and thus we are able to forgive others. Jesus followed his answer to Simon Peter with an interesting parable of a king who wanted to settle accounts with ...

3196. Lord, Let My Heart Be Good Soil

Matthew 13:1-23

Sermon

R. Kevin Mohr

... Heart Be Good Soil” reminds us that the proper reaction to Jesus’ parables is not analysis but a response of commitment to and longing for the reign of the love of God in our world and lives. That love for which we long is the source of our sense of belonging and feeling at home with God. After living in any community for a length of time, and learning some of the history of the place, you eventually discover what the secret of truly belonging in that place is. In the community where we reside and where ...

3197. The Rabbi's Apprentice

Matthew 15:21-28

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... from his teachings, and learn to imitate him so passionately that they would think and behave like him instinctively. In a sense, apprenticeship is like learning a foreign language. At first, you need to think about each word or phrase, the grammar and ... a teacher and learn how to play. Listen, imitate, practice, learn. Year after year, you sit beside the teacher until you begin to sense the music on your own. This is apprenticeship. Faith in praxis at the feet of a master. Because of the practice part of ...

3198. A Personal Question Deserves a Personal Answer

Matthew 16:13-20

Sermon

Roy Howard

... interested in dessert. So I decided to get real with him; I decided to give him an honest answer. I told him that it made more sense to describe how God found me, rather than me finding the Lord. After all, the Lord wasn’t lost, so why should I talk about ... me an opportunity to follow Jesus, I said yes, even though I was not at all sure what I was doing, only that I had a sense I was no longer alone and that I was somehow coming home to the community that I had abandoned so many years earlier. In order ...

3199. How Could We Possibly Forget?

Ephesians 1:15-23

Sermon

King Duncan

... . Her life had taken a tough turn. She lived in a tent in Pennsylvania alongside the Appalachian Trail. Mary began making friends with the dozens of trail hikers who passed through the area. And as she reached out to help these strangers, Mary discovered a new sense of joy and purpose in her life. Her life began to improve when she focused on helping others in need. Today Mary lives in an apartment right off the Appalachian Trail. She has earned the nickname Trail Angel Mary from the hundreds of hikers she ...

3200. Giving Comfort

Isaiah 40:1-31

Sermon

King Duncan

... when God withdraws to test your faith. He wants you to trust Him in the darkness. Now, Son, reach up by faith in the fog and you will find that His hand will be there.” “Relieved,” Graham said, “I knelt by my bed and experienced an overwhelming sense of God’s presence.” (4) That is the greatest source of comfort in this world. I know, there are many things that are offered as sources of comfort in the world today. We have comfort food. Who said chocolate? One man said that in his family growing ...
