We can leave our sorrows and griefs behind at death. But the wealth of love belongs to us for eternity.

Arthur Ernest Wilder-Smith

Arthur Ernest Wilder-Smith (1915–1995) war ein britischer Chemiker, Pharmakologe und evangelikaler Apologet, der nach internationalen Lehraufträgen viele Jahre in der Schweiz lebte und publizierte. Er vertrat einen kreationistischen Ansatz und argumentierte mit biochemischen sowie informationstheoretischen Modellen gegen die Evolutionstheorie, was in der naturwissenschaftlichen Fachwelt auf breite Ablehnung stieß. Für Bibelleser veranschaulicht sein Werk den Versuch konservativ-evangelikaler Apologetik, naturwissenschaftliche Argumente mit einem wörtlichen Verständnis der biblischen Schöpfungsberichte zu verbinden.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon

The bells sound, they sound quite differently than usual, when one knows of a dead person whom one loves.

Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.

What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, For all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
