God is love, and that love works through men-especially through the whole community of Christians.

I am only trying to call attention to a fact; the fact that this year, of this month, or, more likely, this very day, we have failed to practice ourselves the kind of behaviour we expect from other people.

The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are.

There is nothing like suspense and anxiety for barricading a human's mind against the Enemy. He wants men to be concerned with what they do; our business is to keep them thinking about what will happen to them.

The value of myth is that it takes all the things you know and restores to them the rich significance which has been hidden by the veil of familiarity.

If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them. They are not a sort of prize which God could, if He chose, just hand out to anyone.

Because we love something else more than this world, we love even this world more than those who know no other.
