Forgiveness does not mean excusing.

We are born helpless. As soon as we are fully conscious we discover loneliness. We need others physically, emotionally, and intellectually. We need them if we are to know anything, even ourselves.

Do not imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call "humble" nowadays: he will not be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who is always telling you that, of course, he is a nobody. Probably all you will think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him.

The event of falling in love... in one high bound it has overleaped the massive wall of our selfhood; it has made appetite itself altruistic, tossed personal happiness aside as a triviality and planted the interests of another in the centre of our being.

Other than heaven, the only place where one's heart is completely safe from the dangers of love is hell.

Friendship is...the sort of love one can imagine between angels.

We must show our Christian colors, if we are to be true to Jesus Christ. We cannot remain silent or concede everything away.
