''Life is a precious gift, but we realize this only when we give it to others." – Pope Francis
''By the cross we, too, are crucified with Christ; but alive in Christ. We are no more rebels, but servants; no more servants, but sons!"– Frederic William Farrar
''We want to avoid suffering, death, sin, ashes. But we live in a world crushed and broken and torn, a world God Himself visited to redeem. We receive his poured-out life, and being allowed the high privilege of suffering with Him, may then pour ourselves out for others." – Elisabeth Ellio
''The cross was two pieces of dead wood; and a helpless, unresisting Man was nailed to it; yet it was mightier than the world, and triumphed, and will ever triumph over it."– Augustus William Hare
"Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone but in every leaf in springtime." - Martin Luther
"2,000 years ago one man got nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be if everyone was nice to each other for a change." - Douglas Adams
"Despite our efforts to keep him out, God intrudes. The life of Jesus is bracketed by two impossibilities: "a virgin's womb and an empty tomb". Jesus entered our world through a door marked, "No Entrance" and left through a door marked "No Exit." - Peter Larson
"Death is the justification of all the ways of the Christian, the last end of all his sacrifices, the touch of the Great Master which completes the picture." - Madame Swetchine
''On this Good Friday may we never forget the true meaning of Easter - 'For when He was on the cross, I was on His mind." -- Unknown
''No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown." -- William Penn
"Stoning prophets and erecting churches to their memory afterwards has been the way of the world through the ages. Today we worship Christ, but the Christ in the flesh we crucified." -- Mahatma Gandhi
''Exalt the Cross! God has hung the destiny of the race upon it. Other things we may do in the realm of ethics, and on the lines of philanthropic reforms; but our main duty converges into setting that one glorious beacon of salvation, Calvary's Cross, before the gaze of every immortal soul'' - Theodore Ledyard Cuyler
