"Believing in the resurrection does not just mean assenting to a dogma and noting a historical fact. It means participating in this creative act of Godâ€™s â€¦ Resurrection is not a consoling opium, soothing us with the promise of a better world in the hereafter. It is the energy for a rebirth of this life. The hope doesnâ€™t point to another world. It is focused on the redemption of this one."

-- JÃ¼rgen Moltmann

“The happiness you are seeking is not to be found in the flow of life, but in your attitude toward whatever life brings.”
