Because we love something else more than this world, we love even this world more than those who know no other.

It matters enormously if I alienate anyone from the truth.

The human mind is generally far more eager to praise or dispraise than it is to describe and define.

Almost certainly God is not in time. His life does not consist of moments one following another...Ten-thirty-- and every other moment from the beginning of the world--is always Present for Him. If you like to put it this way, He has all eternity in which to listen to the split second of prayer put up by a pilot as his plane crashes in flames.

Prosperity knits a man to the world. He feels that he is finding his place in it, while really it is finding its place in him.

You must ask for God's help. Even when you have done so, it may seem to you for a long time that no help, or less help than you need, is being given. Never mind. After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again. Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again.

A man can't be always defending the truth; there must be a time to feed on it.
