Believing to understand

“For I do not seek to understand that I may believe,
but I believe in order to understand.
For this I believe -
that unless I believe,
I should not understand.”
Anselm Of Canterbury

Geloven om te begrijpen

"Ik zoek niet iets te begrijpen dat ik kan geloven,
maar ik geloof om te begrijpen.
Voor dit is wat ik geloof -
dat tenzij ik geloof, ik niet zou moeten begrijpen"
Anselm Van Canterbury

To develop a peaceful state of mind

"Watch your manner of speech if you wish
to develop a peaceful state of mind.
Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and
happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful."
- Norman Vincent Peale

"And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence
and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."
Philippians 4:7-8
