Trust God in the dark until the light returns.

We pursue God because, and only because, He has first put an urge within us that spurs us to the pursuit.

Peace of heart that is won by refusing to bear the common yoke of human sympathy is a peace unworthy of a Christian. To seek tranquility by stopping our ears to the cries of human pain is to make ourselves not Christian but a kind of degenerate stoic having no relation either to stoicism or Christianity.

The notion that the careless sinner is the smart fellow and the serious-minded Christian, though well-intentioned, is a stupid dolt altogether out of touch with life will not stand up under scrutiny. Sin is basically an act of moral folly, and the greater the folly the greater the fool.

Perception of ideas, rather than the storing of them, should be the aim of education.

God is speaking. He is, by His nature, continuously articulate. He fills the world with His speaking voice.

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.
