    Commonplace Quotes

    We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!

    ~ Romans 7:14-25

    Perceiving the pathway to truth,

    Was struck with astonishment.

    It was thickly grown with weeds.

    “Ha,” he said,

    “I see that none has passed here

    In a long time.”

    Later he saw that each weed

    Was a singular knife.

    “Well,” he mumbled at last,

    “Doubtless there are other roads.”

    ~ Stephen Crane, The Wayfarer
