We were made not primarily that we may love God, but that God may love us.

I am sure that God keeps no one waiting unless he sees that it is good for him to wait.

Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him.

And He [God] and you are two things of such a kind that if you really get into any kind of touch with Him you will, in fact, be humble--delightedly humble, feeling the infinite relief of having for once got rid of all the silly nonsense about your own dignity which has made you restless and unhappy all your life.

The grave and the image are equally links with the irrecoverable and symbols for the unimaginable.

Wouldn't it be dreadful if some day in our own world, at home, men start going wild inside, like the animals here, and still look like men, so that you'd never know which were which.

God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than He is of any other slacker.
