Always God’s goodness is the ground of our expectation.

It requires a serious mind and a determined heart to pray past the ordinary into the unusual.

Any nation which for an extended period puts pleasure before liberty is likely to lose the liberty it misused.

God dwells in eternity but time dwells in God. He has already lived all our tomorrows as He has lived all our yesterdays.

Most of the world's great souls have been lonely. Loneliness seems to be one price the saint must pay for his saintliness... Always remember: you cannot carry a cross in company. Though a man were surrounded by a vast crowd, his cross is his alone and his carrying of it marks him as a man apart. Society has turned against him; otherwise he would have no cross. No one is a friend to the man with a cross.

Outside of the will of god, there is nothing I want. And in the will of god there is nothing I fear.
