We taste Thee, O Thou Living Bread, And long to feast upon Thee still: We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.

A Christian should put away all defense and make no attempt to excuse himself either in his own eyes or before the Lord. Whoever defends himself will have himself for his defense, and he will have no other. But let him come defenseless before the Lord and he will have for his defender no less than God Himself.

The way to deeper knowledge of God is through the lonely valleys of soul poverty and abnegation of all things. The blessed ones who possess the Kingdom are they who have repudiated every external thing and have rooted from their hearts all sense of possessing. These are the 'poor in spirit.'

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

My aim each day is to adore God more than anything else.

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

Truth is a glorious but hard mistress. She never consults, bargains or compromises.
