To get even near humility, even for a moment, is like a drink of cold water to a man in a desert.

A man can eat his dinner without understanding exactly how food nourishes him. A man can accept what Christ has done without knowing how it works: indeed, he certainly would not know how it works until he has accepted it.

The higher the stakes, the greater the temptation to lose your temper.

Reality, in fact, is always something you couldn't have guessed. That's one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It's a religion you couldn't have guessed.

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

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

Anger is the fluid love bleeds when cut.
