The first thing to get clear about Christian morality between man and man is that in this department Christ did not come to teach any brand new morality. The Golden Rule of the New Testament (Do as you would be done by) is a summing up of what everyone, at bottom, had always known to be right.

In silence and in meditation on the eternal truths, I hear the voice of God which excites our hearts to greater love.

Through pride the devil became the devil. Pride leads to every vice, it's the complete anti-God state of mind.

We long for more and God's promise is that there is more awaiting us. More to delight us than we will ever exhaust.

The most dangerous thing you can do is to take any one impulse of your own nature and set it up as the thing you ought to follow at all costs. There is not one of them which will not make us into devils if we set it up as an absolute guide. You might think love of humanity in general was safe, but it is not. If you leave out justice you will find yourself breaking agreements and faking evidence in trials "for the sake of humanity", and become in the end a cruel and treacherous man.

There are no variations except for those who know a norm, and no subtleties for those who have not grasped the obvious.

Christianity asserts that every individual human being is going to live for ever, and this must be either true or false. Now there are a good many things which would not be worth bothering about if I were going to live only seventy years, but which I had better bother about very seriously if I am going to live for ever.
