Fallen man is not simply an imperfect creature who needs improvement: he is a rebel who must lay down his arms. Laying down your arms, surrendering, saying you are sorry, realizing that you have been on the wrong track and getting ready to start life over again from the ground floor-that is the only way out of a "hole." This process of surrender-this movement full speed astern-is repentance.

Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.

Miracles are for beginners.

Authority exercised with humility, and obedience accepted with delight are the very lines along which our spirits live.

When you have reached your own room, be kind to those Who have chosen different doors and to those who are still in the hall.

If we are any good we must always be working towards the moment at which our Pupils are fit to become our Critics & Rivals

Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.
