Enemy-occupied territory - that is what this world is.

I have discovered that the people who believe most strongly in the next life do the most good in the present one.

Virtue - even attempted virtue - brings light; indulgence brings fog.

The continual looking forward to the eternal world is not a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do.

Unless Christianity is wholly false, the perception of ourselves which we have in moments of shame must be the only true one.

if anyone present wishes to make me the subject of his wit, I am very much at his service--with my sword--whenever he has leisure.

We do not come to God as bad people trying to become good people; we come as rebels to lay down our arms.
