Some are wise, and other quotes

The posting of quotes by human authors does not constitute agreement with either the quotes or their sources. (I try to confirm the sources that I give, but may miss on occasion; please verify if possible.)

“Man cannot be saved by perfect obedience because he cannot render it, neither by imperfect obedience, because God cannot accept it.”

“Your strength is seen in what you stand for; your weakness in what you fall for.”

“The Bible promises no loaves for the loafer.”

“Some are wise; some are otherwise.”

“One evidence of the value of the Bible is the character of those who oppose it.”
The above quotes all appeared in The Baptist Waymark without attribution. I have not researched to find out to whom they belong.
