God is more concerned with the state of people's hearts than He is with the state of their feelings.

Every man is as holy as he really wants to be.

Be hard on yourself and easy on others. Carry your own cross but never lay one on the back of another

To men and women everywhere Jesus says, "Come unto me, and I will give you rest." The rest He offers is the rest of meekness, the blessed relief which comes when we accept ourselves for what we are and cease to pretend.

Philosophy and science have not always been friendly toward the idea of God, the reason being they are dedicated to the task of accounting for things and are impatient with anything that refuses to give an account of itself. The philosopher and the scientist will admit that there is much that they do not know; but that is quite another thing from admitting there is something which they can never know, which indeed they have no technique for discovering.

When we allow God to be exalted in our difficulties we are in the perfect place to smell the fragrance of His Presence.

The superior Christian lets God strip him of everything that might serve as a false refuge, a secondary trust.
