The Sabbath is not for the sake of the weekdays; the weekdays are for the sake of Sabbath. It is not an interlude but the climax of living.

When faith is completely replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when the crisis of today is ignored because of the splendors of the past; when faith becomes an heirloom rather than a living fountain; when religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion, its message becomes meaningless.

All that is left is to us is our being horrified at the loss of our sense of horror.

Wonder rather than doubt is the root of all knowledge.

There is no specialized art of prayer. All of life must be a training to pray. We pray the way we live.

Never once in my life did I ask God for success or wisdom or power or fame. I asked for wonder, and he gave it to me.

I am commanded therefore I am.
