Two great quotes from Leo Tolstoy today…and the second one could be used in the web site a friend and I just launched, Gospel.Claims.

And…
The greatest truth is the most simple one.
— A Calendar of Wisdom: Daily Thoughts to Nourish the Soul, Written and Selected from the World’s Sacred Texts by Leo Tolstoy (translated by Peter Sekirin)
