I hope to post "Noteable Quotes" to the blog, as I keep finding wonderful written material I'd like to "share" with anyone interested. The quote today comes from Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, an award-winning and celebrated writer, and a Christian. This quote is on the page just before Chapter One of a book I'm currently reading, _The Lost Virtue of Happiness_ by J. P. Moreland* and Klauss Issler**. For more information about these two Christian gentlemen, see the note following the quote:
"The meaning of earthly existence lies not, as we have grown used to thinking, in prospering . . . but in the development of the soul."
