Sermon
Lori Wagner
... and then gather all of the wheat or barley into sheaves.

While today, threshers are automated, back in Jesus’ day and before, they were large planks of wood put together in a platform. In the underside of the platform would be many ...
527. Excuse Me!
Exodus 3:1-22
Sermon
Carl Jech
... worse! Lodging occasional compaints against your brother or sister or spouse, or roommate or fellow worker does not necessarily mean that you have a bad self-image. Legitimate criticism, both positive and negative, can be expressed from a position of strength and high self-esteem. But excessive negativity is almost always a warning sign. If I feel good about myself, I don't need to make a snide remark to the golfer who accidentally hits my ball instead of his own; I don't need to get all worked up over the ...
For there is no defense for a man who, in the excess of his wealth, has kicked the great altar of Justice out of sight.
Aeschylus
Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.
Aldous Huxley
A national debt, if it is not excessive, will be to us a national blessing.
Alexander Hamilton

Alexander Hamilton

Alexis de Tocqueville
Even moderation ought not to be practised to excess.
Anonymous
Quarrels often arise in marriages when the bridal gifts are excessive.
Antisthenes
Protection and security are only valuable if they do not cramp life excessively.
Carl Jung
It is at once by way of poetry and through poetry, as with music, that the soul glimpses splendors from beyond the tomb; and when an exquisite poem brings one's eyes to the point of tears, those tears are not evidence of an excess of joy, they are witness far more to an exacerbated melancholy, a disposition of the nerves, a nature exiled among imperfect things, which would like to possess, without delay, a paradise revealed on this very same earth.
Charles Baudelaire
The excess of our youth are checks written against our age and they are payable with interest thirty years later.
Charles Caleb Colton
Minds, like bodies, will often fall into a pimpled, ill-conditioned state from mere excess of comfort.

To believe that if only we had this or that we would be happy, or to pursue any excessive desire, diverts us from seeing that happiness depends on an adequate self.
Eric Hoffer
The desire of excessive power caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge caused men to fall.
Francis Bacon
Religious and philosophical beliefs are, indeed, as dangerous as fire, and nothing can take from them that beauty of danger. But there is only one way of really guarding ourselves against the excessive danger of them, and that is to be steeped in philosophy and soaked in religion.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions.
James Madison
As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand.
