Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment.

That is what mortals misunderstand. They say of some temporal sufferring, "No future bliss can make up for it" not knowing that Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory.

Always winter but never Christmas.

Nothing is more characteristically juvenile than contempt for juvenility. . . youth's characteristic chronological snobbery.

When we see the face of God we shall know that we have always known it. He has been a party to, has made, sustained and moved moment by moment within, all our earthly experiences of innocent love.
