Difficulty Quotes
-
Our daily life is mostly, made of cases in which we lose money and/or time and/or energy and/or appetite, cheerfulness and good health because of the improbable action of some preposterous creature who has nothing to gain and indeed gains nothing from causing us embarrassment, difficulties or harm.

Choices Faith In God Invisible Difficulty Term Sovereignty Live By Various Appeals Chiefs Demand Force Hands Sight Sufficiency Seeing Visible
