We fear extremes and shy away from too much ardor in religion as if it were possible to have too much love or too much faith or too much holiness.

The believing man does not claim to understand. He falls to his knees and whispers, "God." The man of earth kneels also, but not to worship. He kneels to examine, to search, to find the cause and the how of things.

If God takes away from us the old, wrinkled, beat-up dollar bill we have clutched so desperately, it is only because He wants to exchange it for the whole Federal mint, the entire treasury! He is saying to us, 'I have in store for you all the resources of heaven. Help yourself.'

A thankful heart cannot be cynical.

We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts

The Bible recognizes no faith that does not lead to obedience, nor does it recognize any obedience that does not spring from faith. The two are at opposite sides of the same coin.

We are called not to adjust ourselves to each other, but to adjust ourselves to God.
