A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.

Got to start by finding it, have we? Can't start by looking for it, I suppose?

Good and evil both increase at compound interest.

The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is the hand over your whole self--all your wishes and precautions--to Christ.

Why must holy places be dark places?

The sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal.

You can begin as if nothing had ever gone wrong. White as snow.
