Whatever a man wants badly and persistently enough will determine the man's character.

Pure Christianity, instead of being shaped by its environment, actually stands in sharp opposition to it.

The low view of God entertained almost universally among Christians is the cause of a hundred lesser evils everywhere among us.

Be thankful, but be careful that you don't become so enamored of God's good gifts that you fail to worship the giver.

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.

No man has any right to speak to men about God who has not first spoken to God about men.

The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshiping men. This she has not done deliberately, but little by little and without her knowledge; and her very unawareness only makes her situation all the more tragic.
