#172: Nineteenth Century Bob-ism

It just occurred to me that one of my favorite all-time quotes is a nineteenth century Bob-ism because it's short, sweet, to the point, and was a line from Robert Murray McCheyne. It says, "Live so as to be missed." In other words, treat people in such a way that your life will be memorable to them and make a difference in their lives, and when it's time to move on to other places for you or them, they will occasionally wish you were there!
Blaise Pascal put it another way, "The serene beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence in the world next to the power of God."
Hmmmm....now that I think of it, I need to put these on my Facebook "favorite quotes."
Gotta go.
