Maisha ni Shani ya Imani

Kiswahili: “Maisha siyo tu ugunduzi wa vile vimekuwa vilivyotokea. Maisha kama hayo yanaweza kuwa na ujuzi wa ulimwengu mzima na, bado, yanakosa kabisa sifa hizo za kiadili na za kiroho zinazofanya maisha kuwa na kusudi kunachofaa. Maisha ni shani ya imani.” - Askofu Kianglikana wa Dayosisi ya Jimbo la Kolorado (nchini Marekani), kutoka 1918 mpaka 1938, Irving Peake Johnson (1866-1947)

English translation: “Life isn't merely the discovery of that which has happened. Such a life might have an encyclopedic knowledge of the universe and yet be utterly lacking in those moral and spiritual qualities which give life an adequate purpose. Life is an adventure of faith.” - Bishop of Colorado (U.S.), from 1918 to 1938, Irving Peake Johnson (1866-1947)
