God sometimes seems to speak to us most intimately when he catches us, as it were, off our guard.

When the most important things in our life happen we quite often do not know, at the moment, what is going on. A man does not always say to himself, "hullo! i'm growing up." It is only when he looks back that he realises what has happened and recognises it as what people call "growing up.

Love is never wasted, for its value does not rest upon reciprocity.

I find that when I think I am asking God to forgive me I am often in reality. . . asking Him not to forgive me but to excuse me.

Now is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It won't last forever. We must take it or leave it.

The longest way round is the shortest way home

I never see why we should do anything unless it is either a duty or a pleasure! Life's short enough without filling up hours unnecessarily
