You weren't a decent man and you didn't do your best. We none of us were and none of us did.

Things always work according to their nature.

I write for the unlearned about things in which I am unlearned myself.

Whenever we find that our religious life is making us feel that we are good - above all, that we are better than someone else - I think we may be sure that we are being acted on, not by God, but by the devil.

The proper motto is not Be good, sweet maid, and let who can be clever, but Be good sweet maid, and don't forget that this involves being as clever as you can. God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than any other slackers.

To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.

If we discover a desire within us that nothing in this world can satisfy, also we should begin to wonder if perhaps we were created for another world.
