If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls; they will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks. What you have discovered is a recipe not for memory, but for reminder. And it is no true wisdom that you offer your disciples, but only its semblance, for by telling them of many things without teaching them you will make them seem to know much, while for... Plato
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "As soon as a religion triumphs it has for its enemies all..."
As soon as a religion triumphs it has for its enemies all those who would have been its first disciples. Friedrich Nietzsche

Do you know what it's like not to have a friend in the world?"It ain't no worsen havinum that would put a knife in your back when you wasn't looking," the older man said, barely parting his lips. Flannery O'Connor

Church attendance is as vital to a disciple as a transfusion of rich, healthy blood to a sick man. Dwight L. Moody
There are not a few among the disciples of charity who require, in their vocation, scarcely less excitement than the votaries of pleasure in theirs. Charles Dickens

Whenever the names of the disciples are enumerated in the New Testament, St. Peter's stands at their head. John Strachan
The first thing that stuck in the minds of the disciples was not the empty tomb, but rather the empty grave clothes - undisturbed in form and position. Josh McDowell
Here's the simplest answer: Within weeks, the disciples proclaimed the resurrection of Jesus Christ, that He had been bodily raised from the dead and appeared to them. Josh McDowell
Look at our Lords disciples. One denied Him; one doubted Him; one betrayed Him. If our Lord couldn't have perfection, how are you going to have it in city government? Richard J. Daley
To be a Christian is to believe we are commanded and authorised to say certain things to the world; to say things that will make disciples of all nations. Rowan D. Williams
