The essence of man is not what he is, but in what he is able to be.

We worry a great deal about the problem of church and state. Now what about the church and God? Sometimes there seems to be a greater separation between the church and God than between the church and state.

Only those will apprehend religion who can probe its depth, who can combine intuition and love with the rigor of method

Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. ....get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.

Sometimes we wish the world could cry and tell us about that which made it pregnant with fear-filling grandeur. Sometimes we wish our own heart would speak of that which made it heavy with wonder.

The awe of God is wisdom.

Man's sin is in his failure to live what he is. Being the master of the earth, man forgets that he is the servant of God.
