If God is Love, He is, by definition, something more than mere kindness.

What would really satisfy us would be a God who said of anything we happened to like doing, 'What does it matter so long as they are contented?'

I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.

It would be impossible to accept naturalism itself if we really and consistently believed naturalism. For naturalism is a system of thought. But for naturalism all thoughts are mere events with irrational causes. It is, to me at any rate, impossible to regard the thoughts which make up naturalism in that way and, at the same time, regard them as a real insight into external reality...If it is true, then we can know no truths. It cuts its own throat.

But length of days with an evil heart is only length of misery and already she begins to know it. All get what they want; they do not always like it.

Love is something more stern and splendid than mere kindness.

Make your choice, adventurous Stranger, Strike the bell and bide the danger, Or wonder, till it drives you mad, What would have followed if you had.
