I have been feeling very much lately that cheerful insecurity is what our Lord asks of us.

The Christian life is simply a process of having your natural self changed into a Christ self, and that this process goes on very far inside. One's most private wishes, one's point of view, are the things that have to be changed.

If a man thinks he is not conceited, he is very conceited indeed.

Reality is harsh to the feet of shadows. But will you come?

If one could run without getting tired I don't think one would often want to do anything else.

Every natural love will rise again and live forever in this country: but none will rise again until it has been buried.

I am often, I believe, praying for others when I should be doing things for them. It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see him.
