“And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.” –Paul of Tarsus (Acts 20:24)
“For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” –Paul of Tarsus (Phillipians 1:21)
“…Then they said to the king, ‘Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, Your Majesty, or to the decree you put in writing.

The king said to Daniel, ‘May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!’” –Daniel, The Prophet (Daniel 6:20)

“If I am afraid to speak the truth lest I lose affection, or lest the one concerned should say, ‘You do not understand’, or because I fear to lose my reputation for kindness; if I put my own good name before the other's highest good, then I know nothing of Calvary love.” –Amy Carmichael
