According to MacCulloch, "Christianity, the world's largest religion, is rapidly expanding – by all indications, its future is very bright."<ref>[https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/10/catholic-schism-diarmaid-macculloh-silence-in-christian-history_n_1663231.html Historian predicts 'bright future' for Christianity]</ref><br /><br />See: [[Future of Christianity]] ]]

The prominent historian Sir Diarmaid MacCulloch, professor of the History of the Church at [[Oxford University]], indicates that he believes Christianity faces a "bright future" worldwide (See also: [[Global Christianity]]).
"Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them - though it was not I but the grace of God that is with me." - Apostle Paul, the hardest working apostle of Jesus Christ, 1 Corinthians 15: 8-10 (NRSV)
"You want to make sacrifices for the unknown." - Coach Herb Brooks
“Discipline is choosing between what you want now, and what you want most.” - [[Abraham Lincoln]]
"The strength or weakness of a society depends more on the level of its spiritual life than on its level of industrialization. Neither a market economy nor even general abundance constitutes the crowning achievement of human life. If a nation's spiritual energies have been exhausted, it will not be saved from collapse by the most perfect government structure or by any industrial development. A tree with a rotten core cannot stand." - [[Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn]]
"I'm really amazed how well-conditioned this team is. I've never seen the Soviets outskated this late in the game. And that is exactly what the U.S. team is doing right now." - Former Montreal Canadiens goaltender Ken Dryden at the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympic Games serving as a sports announcer for ABC News
